Claire felt the air grow thick around her. This was no mistake. This wasn't a case of her father getting caught up in something he couldn't control. No, her father had orchestrated it all. From the covert meetings with ruthless arms dealers to the laundering of money through a network of shell companies, her father had been pulling the strings from the shadows.
With a shaky hand, Claire navigated through the files, each one revealing more about his criminal empire. The syndicate's reach extended across the globe, from the streets of South America to the hidden corners of Eastern Europe. She found evidence of bribery, of political manipulation, of betrayal and violence—all under her father's watchful eye. He was involved in operations that funded terrorist organizations, exploited vulnerable populations, and fueled global instability. Claire felt the weight of each revelation settle heavily in her chest, suffocating her as the truth sank in deeper.
