All Chapters of The woman behind the billionaire's empire : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The next morning, Aurora arrived at Sinclair Global before sunrise.She had barely slept.The name Daniel Vale kept returning to her thoughts.Her father had trusted him.Victor had known him.And now, decades later, he was secretly purchasing pieces of Aurora's empire.There had to be a reason.Marcus entered her office carrying a file."We found him."Aurora immediately looked up."Where?""Switzerland.""Is he still using the name Daniel Vale?""No."Aurora frowned."Then what name is he using?""Daniel Vincent."Aurora stared at him."Vincent?"Marcus nodded."He owns a private investment company there. It's small compared with Sinclair Global, but his personal assets are enormous.""How did he acquire them?""That's what we're trying to determine."Aurora stood."I want to meet him."Marcus looked surprised.For the next three days, Aurora heard nothing from Marcus.That alone worried her.Marcus was rarely without an answer. If an investigation took longer than expected, he alwa

Aurora's first thought after leaving the storage facility was not about business.It was about Lucas and Lily.She immediately called Grace."Where are the children?""They're at home with security.""Increase the security around them."Grace became serious."Did something happen?""I'll explain when I arrive."Aurora ended the call and looked at Adrian."Daniel said Victor had a plan involving my children."Adrian nodded."Then we need to understand exactly what that plan was."When they reached the estate, Aurora went directly to the garden.Lucas and Lily were playing with Emma under the supervision of their nanny.The sight of them brought relief to Aurora.Lily spotted her first."Mummy!"Aurora smiled and opened her arms.Lily ran toward her.Lucas followed.Aurora hugged them both tightly."Are you all right?"Lucas laughed."Of course.""Why are you hugging us so tightly?"Aurora smiled."I missed you."She kissed the tops of their heads.Then she looked at Adrian.He was watc

Aurora stood motionless in Archive Room 7, the old ledger open in her hands.For years, she had believed the worst betrayal of her life began when Ethan and his mistress switched the babies.Now she was discovering that the betrayal had begun much earlier.Adrian stepped closer."Aurora, we need to know what the ledger actually says."She nodded.Together, they continued reading.The ledger contained records of private meetings between Ethan and Victor Carter. Some entries were financial, while others concerned Aurora and her family.One entry immediately caught Aurora's attention.Ethan has been informed of Aurora's true financial position. He understands that her wealth exceeds his family's fortune by an enormous margin.Aurora's fingers tightened around the book.Another entry followed.Victor advised Ethan to keep Aurora unaware that her financial identity had been discovered.Aurora looked at Adrian."So Ethan knew.""Apparently."She turned the page.The next entry was even more

Aurora stared at Grace through the phone."Ethan is at the estate?""Yes. He says he needs to speak with you immediately."Aurora looked at Adrian."Did he say why?"Grace hesitated."He said he knows who is behind Victor's organization."Aurora's expression changed."Let him in."Adrian frowned."Are you sure?""I want answers."---A few minutes later, Ethan entered the study.He looked different from the man Aurora remembered. He seemed tired, older, and weighed down by regret.Aurora remained standing."Why are you here?"Ethan looked at Adrian, then back at Aurora."I found something."Aurora crossed her arms."What?"Ethan placed a folder on the desk."This belonged to my father."Aurora opened it.Inside were financial records, correspondence, and a photograph.She recognized the photograph immediately.Victor Carter stood beside a younger man.Aurora's eyes narrowed."Who is he?"Ethan swallowed."His name is Robert Hale."Aurora froze."Martin Hale?""His father."Adrian step

Aurora stared at the dark computer screen.The original owner is still alive.The words wouldn't leave her mind."Who could it be?" Adrian asked.Aurora shook her head."I don't know."Marcus entered with the security team."We've checked the building. No one got inside."Aurora looked at the flash drive."Then whoever did this accessed the system remotely."Marcus nodded."We're securing everything."Aurora turned to Adrian."We need to find Sophia."Adrian looked surprised."You think she's alive?""The recording said she was."He hesitated."My father told me she died when I was six.""Then someone lied to you."Adrian looked down.For a moment, Aurora saw how deeply the revelation affected him.She placed a hand on his shoulder."We'll find the truth."---The next morning, Marcus returned with information."We found a possible location."Aurora looked up."Where?""A private clinic in Switzerland."Adrian's expression changed."My mother?""Possibly."Aurora stood."Let's go."--
