Chapter 114 - Sisterhood of Steel
With the Blackwood Syndicate utterly destroyed, a surprising ally stepped forward to help us clean up the remaining corporate fallout: my twin sister, Veronica.
Having fully recovered at her medical retreat in Geneva, Veronica flew to Chicago to assist our legal team. Using her intimate knowledge of shadow syndicate accounting—which she had been forced to learn during her years under Harrison Cross—Veronica helped Marcus locate every hidden offshore account tied to Alexander Blackwood.
Sitting in our private office at Sterling-Vance Headquarters, Veronica handed me a signed transfer document.
"This restores twenty billion dollars in seized assets back to the Sterling-Vance public trust," Veronica said softly, a genuine, warm smile on her face. "You gave me my life back, Victoria. This is the least I can do."
I pulled my sister into a tight, emotional hug. "You're family, Veronica. You'll always have a place here."
