The Warehouse Was Not What They Expected
For several minutes, the three siblings remained hidden, trying to listen in on what was happening around them.
And then—they finally saw it.
Inside the warehouse?
Not shipping goods.
Not manufacturing supplies.
Not corporate equipment.
But files, documents, and expensive technology—organized in a way that looked like someone was gathering classified information.
This wasn't a warehouse for goods.
It was a secret hub for something much worse.
Sterling Enterprises wasn't just facing a corporate crisis.
It was facing an attack.
And now?
They had proof.
Step 1: The Realization That This Was Dangerous
Up until now, their investigation had felt reckless but manageable.
But now?
Now, they were standing in a facility that clearly wasn't meant to exist.
If the people running this warehouse found them—they wouldn't just be thrown out.
They might disappear entirely.
Which meant—they needed to get out. Fast.
Step 2: The Sudden Interruption
Just as Zephyr was about to say they needed to leave, Solene spotted something even more shocking.
At the center of the warehouse?
A man they recognized.
Someone high-ranking in Sterling Enterprises.
Someone who was supposed to be loyal to their father.
Someone currently handing over secret files to people they didn't recognize.
And in that moment—everything changed.
Sterling Enterprises wasn't just being attacked.
It was being betrayed from the inside.
And now?
They weren't just clueless heirs anymore.
They were witnesses.
Jonathan Sterling hadn't just exiled them to teach them responsibility.
He had removed them from danger.
And now?
They had walked straight into it anyway.
