Sophia read the diary in one sitting, tears streaming down her face as each page revealed more heart-wrenching truths. By the time she closed the book, her resolve was fortified with the knowledge needed to save Alexander and also to confront the mysteries surrounding her father’s death.

Sophia’s heart had toughened over the years, each new challenge reinforcing her resolve. Now, armed with the concluding revelations of her grandfather’s story, she was determined to confront those who had wronged her family.

She turned on the television, her eyes catching a live news broadcast where reporters were aggressively questioning Alexander’s credibility.

"How long will you postpone the conference? In our opinion, you are already inventing excuses," one reporter sharply accused.

On-screen, Sophia saw the moment realization dawned on Alexander’s face; they could delay no longer. His response was firm and clear.

"Tomorrow afternoon. I have nothing to hide."

Sophia felt her heart rate accelerate.

"The first piece of evidence I want to provide is in relation to the documents that claim Stone Enterprise was built around illegal transactions and actions. In fact, this is not true. The documents have been taken out of context.""And how do you intend to prove that?" a skeptical reporter retorted. "If you don't interrupt me, everything will become clear to you," replied Sophia, her irritation masked by a calm demeanor. Silence reigned in the hall as she continued, now with a reassuring smile."Every single transaction was made through a bank named BILOBY BANK. This bank no longer exists, but I was able to unearth documents showing the true ownership. The bank was controlled by mobsters; they used it to manage their money and conduct their illegal transactions without alerting the police. Although it appeared to be a legitimate, state-owned bank, it was actually operated by America

"Ah, now let's go home because I intend to rip your dress off with my teeth." He smirked. "I would do it here too, but...""No, no. We are goin
