Chapter 8 - The Offshore Escape
Clara and Julian aggressively hijacked an abandoned mercenary vehicle left behind in the chaotic mud.
Julian heavily bandaged his bleeding shoulder while Clara sped dangerously fast down the winding mountain road.
"We have to access her corporate server to completely figure out where that helicopter is heading," Julian stated through gritted teeth.
They entirely bypassed the local police barricades and drove straight to the towering headquarters of Vivi's massive company.
The building was completely dark and entirely empty in the early hours of the freezing morning.
Julian used his highly secure biometric override codes to bypass the heavy security gates in the lobby.
They sprinted into Vivi's lavish corner office, frantically searching for any clues left behind in her panic.
Clara aggressively smashed the glass of a locked cabinet and pulled out a hidden stack of offshore property deeds.
"She does not just have a simple bank account, Julian, she has an entire heavily fortified private island," Clara discovered.
Julian looked at the specific coordinates and his face instantly turned completely pale with sheer shock.
"That highly exclusive island does not legally belong to Vivi's family at all," Julian whispered in absolute disbelief.
He entirely revealed that the massive, highly secure property officially belonged to Arthur Sterling.
Arthur Sterling was Clara's incredibly wealthy biological father, who had supposedly tragically died in a yachting accident ten years ago.
"My father is completely alive and actively funding the woman who stole my child?" Clara asked, her entire world shattering again.
Julian firmly nodded, explaining that Arthur had deeply hated Julian's family for decades due to a bitter corporate rivalry.
Arthur had completely faked his own death and secretly used Vivi to thoroughly punish Clara for falling in love with the enemy.
"He wants to completely mold Noah into the ruthless heir of his own dark empire," Julian concluded grimly.
Clara entirely felt a massive, powerful surge of pure, unadulterated fury completely override her deep exhaustion.
She was absolutely going to tear her own corrupt father's empire completely to the ground to save her innocent son.
They successfully rushed to the city docks and aggressively stole a high-speed luxury powerboat to cross the dark ocean.
As they aggressively approached the heavily guarded private island, a massive searchlight completely locked onto their small boat.

A highly amplified voice boomed loudly over the dark water, echoing with terrifying, absolute authority.
"Welcome home, my completely naive, utterly disappointing daughter," her presumed-dead father announced over the loudspeaker.
