Chapter 7
seven hours later. I landed at Heathrow Airport in London.
Dad was already waiting
He for me.
me, and with him was a guy who looked exactly like Kurt–his identical twin brother Holden Delapore!
Ver, Ed known the Delapore brothers for years. They were twins my father had sponsored twenty years ago ||
Kürt had been a free spirit, dropping out of school early to follow Jan in New York. Holden was completely different–studious and dedicated from childhood Dad had supported him all the way through his doctorate||
After graduation, Holden had stayed by my father’s side as his right hand man, His major was economics, but his mind worked like a machine, dabbling in various fields. Computer science was his particular expertise.
The phone call I’d made before leaving was to Holten, Emptying the Cohen Group’s accounts
ounts without leaving a trace was child’s play for him.]
I knew that if that money disappeared even for a few days, the burely established Colsen Group would face hankruptcy |
The truth is. I’d recognized Kurt from the first day I met Ian. The day Lan told Kurt about his plan, Holden immediately Informed me. But the overseas call took
o long to connect. By the time I got the message, it was already too late.
Tam was meticulous. He hadnt shared the details of his plan with Kurt, so I still couldn’t escape his trap
Kurt had helped me leave New York, choosing a route Tan would never think to check. I knew a trusted Kurt enough to could buy me a few hours.
“Aurora” Dad said as he pulled me into his arms, trust me. I won’t let Tan get way with this. You’re safe now. Leave everything else to me.”
Dad’s broad chest gave me strength again. Over the years, my father had kept a low profile in the UK. Most people had no idea how powerful he really was
Even after I married Ian, he’d assumed 1 was just some middle–class good girl. He never took my family seriously. Because I was in love, Dad didn’t correct him. He accepted lan’s indifference toward him.
but I was his only child, burn when he was in his mid–forties. He treasured me like a priceless jewell. I knew Lan’s nightmare was just beginning
On the way home, Halden checked his phone and turned to my father with a grim expression.||
“Mr. Lavirin, It’s blowing up. Every outler’s picked up the story, Shareholders have been camping out on the top floor of Coben Tower for 24 hours straight. That hasard mast Le having the worst day of his life.”
__Hearing this, I opened my phone and saw the shocking headlines:

In the darkness of the car, my father spoke in a love yober “Holden, was everything handled cleanly?” ||
“Absolutely spotless. No trail leads back to us.”
Good. Then keep going We’re just getting started.“]
Holden nodded firmly at my father’s words.)
Dad reached out and took my hand in his, speaking softly
Aurora, have a break. When you wake up tomorrow, it will be a new world, a new life Trust daddy:“[]
