Chapter 44 - The Ultimatum Delivered
The very next morning, an opulent, wax-sealed envelope was delivered via private courier directly to Evangeline’s office.
It was a formal demand for a private meeting at the Sterling family’s heavily guarded estate on the outskirts of the city.

Eleanor commanded, reading the letter with absolute disgust.
"It is a trap."
"It is an invitation,"
Evangeline corrected her, her blue eyes blazing with a fierce, brilliant light.
"If Arthur Sterling wants to look me in the eye and threaten my child, I am going to give him exactly what he asks for. And then I am going to burn his legacy to the ground."
"I am sending the entire tactical team with you,"
David insisted, already reaching for his radio.
