THE HEIRESS THEY BURRIED
The trail finally ended at a hidden offshore account.
Encrypted.
Protected.
Invisible to ordinary auditors.
The moment she accessed it, a warning appeared on her screen.
RESTRICTED ACCOUNT.
AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY.
Her heartbeat quickened.
"Well, that's never stopped me before."
A few commands later, the account opened.
And Elara stopped breathing.
The balance displayed on the screen.
$3,874,221,908
Nearly four billion dollars.
For several seconds she simply stared.
Surely she was seeing things.
She refreshed the page.
