CHAPTER 2 — The Heiress Who Disappeared
Three months earlier, Charlotte Vale had everything.
A powerful family.
A billion-dollar inheritance.
A future waiting for her.
Then her mother died.
The official story was simple.
A tragic car accident.
But Charlotte never believed it.
Her mother was careful.
She never drove without checking everything.
After the funeral, Charlotte discovered hidden files inside her mother's private office.
The documents revealed something terrifying.
Her family's trusted executives had been stealing money from the company for years.
And the person leading the betrayal was someone close.
Alexander Reed.
The man her mother trusted most.
He had changed company records.
He had removed Charlotte from important documents.
He had slowly convinced the world that Charlotte was unstable and incapable of leading.
His plan was simple.
Make Charlotte disappear.
Take control of Solmere.
And become the new king of the empire.
Charlotte knew she couldn't fight them openly.
So she vanished.
She changed her appearance.
She lived like an ordinary person.
And she returned to the hotel to collect evidence.
