Aurora couldn't take her eyes off Richard.

"My grandfather created the Blackstone Trust?"

Richard nodded.

"Yes."

"But why would he create something designed to threaten our own family?"

"Because it wasn't originally designed to threaten anyone."

Aurora frowned.

"Then what was it?"

Richard looked toward Eleanor.

    Aurora stared at Marcus's name on the document."Where is he?" she asked.Clara shook her head. "He left the moment he realized we'd discovered the truth."Aurora immediately called security."Find Marcus. Do not confront him. Just locate him."Minutes later, Grace rushed into the room."Ma'am, his office is empty."Aurora frowned. "What about the security cameras?""Disabled."Margaret quietly spoke. "He's going to the vault."Aurora turned toward her."Why?""Because the original agreement is still there."Aurora grabbed her coat."Then we get there first."---They arrived at the family vault just before midnight.The door was already open.Aurora stepped inside cautiously.Marcus stood beside the safe.He turned around.For a moment, he looked almost relieved to see her."You finally understand," he said.Aurora's voice was steady."I understand that you betrayed me."Marcus shook his head."I betrayed the people who stole everything from my family.""Your family?""My grandfather

    Aurora moved toward the window."Who is outside?"Margaret shook her head."I don't know. But they found us faster than I expected."Adrian entered the room."We've secured the house."Aurora turned to him."Good. Because Margaret has something important to tell us."Margaret placed the sealed document on the desk."The person behind the Blackstone Trust has been waiting for the original agreement."Aurora looked at the signature."Who signed this?"Margaret hesitated."Someone who had access to your family records."Aurora studied the name again.Then she understood."The person who has been helping us."Margaret nodded."Yes."Aurora's phone suddenly rang.It was Daniel.She answered."Aurora, don't trust anyone in the house."Aurora looked around."Why?""I found something in the original records.""What?""The person controlling the trust has been sending instructions from inside your estate."Aurora's eyes widened."Who?"Daniel was silent for a moment.Then he said,"Check the o

    Aurora couldn't stop thinking about the photograph.Margaret Rose.Who was she really?And why had her father hidden her existence?Back at the estate, Aurora went straight to her father's old study.She searched through every drawer, every cabinet, and every box.Finally, she found an old wooden chest beneath the desk.Inside were several letters.One envelope was marked:For Aurora, when she is ready.Her hands trembled as she opened it.Her father's handwriting filled the page.Aurora,There is a truth about our family that I never wanted you to discover this way. Margaret Rose was not simply my father's first wife. She was the original creator of the family fortune.Aurora stopped reading.She continued.She built the first company with her own ideas and resources. When she disappeared, my father took control of everything. He allowed the world to believe the fortune belonged to him.Aurora's eyes widened.Her grandfather had stolen the credit.But there was more.Margaret left be

He took control of part of it and used it to build his own network."Daniel stepped forward."That's why your father spent years trying to dismantle it."Aurora slowly understood.The conspiracy hadn't started with Victor.It had started with a legitimate family trust that had been corrupted over time.She looked at Eleanor."And you knew?"Elea

    Aurora stood in the center of the room, surrounded by the people who had each carried a piece of the truth.For years, secrets had controlled their families.She was done letting them."We end this tonight," Aurora said.Daniel nodded."I know where Richard keeps the remaining records."Eleanor looked at him sharply."How?""Because I helped him hide them."Aurora stared at Daniel."You worked with Richard?""At first. I believed I could stop him from the inside."Adrian frowned."And did you?"Daniel shook his head."Not completely."Before Aurora could respond, her phone rang.It was Ethan.She answered."Ethan?"His voice was urgent."Aurora, listen carefully. Richard knows you've found the trust.""We know.""No. You don't understand. He's moving tonight.""Where?""The Carter headquarters."Aurora's expression changed."Why?""He's going to use the board to take temporary control of the company."Aurora looked at Daniel."Can he do that?"Daniel nodded grimly."If enough board me

    Aurora walked into the living room and found Eleanor waiting calmly.For a moment, neither woman spoke.Aurora finally broke the silence."Why are you here?"Eleanor smiled sadly."Because I knew you would eventually discover the truth."Aurora held up the documents Richard had given her."Did you start the lawsuit against my family?"Eleanor's expression changed."Yes."Aurora's heart sank."Why?""Because I wanted the trust restored to its original purpose.""You could have told me.""I tried.""No. You manipulated me."Eleanor looked away."I was afraid you would make the same mistakes your father made."Aurora stepped closer."My father protected this family.""Your father protected his secrets."Aurora went silent.Eleanor reached into her handbag and placed an old document on the table."The original trust."Aurora stared at it."Why bring it here?""Because I want you to read it."Aurora opened the document.The first page contained her grandmother's signature.But the final pa
