Kapitel 60: Chapter fifty-nine

Isabel POV

I sat on the edge of the couch, the weight of the past few days pressing heavily on my chest.

Miguel and Marissa were huddled at the table, their voices low as they reviewed the plan Victor had laid out. It was straightforward in theory: expose the information in the ledger through multiple channels to ensure it couldn't be suppressed. But in practice, it felt like a gamble with stakes far too high.

I clutched the coffee mug in my hands, the heat seeping through my fingers as I tried to focus.

"You're quiet," Miguel said, his voice breaking through my thoughts.

I looked up, meeting his steady gaze. "Just thinking."

"Care to share?"

I hesitated, then set the mug down. "Gideon's too calm. He's always a step ahead. What if this plan isn't enough?"

Miguel POV

Isabel's words hit harder than I wanted to admit. She was right—Gideon wasn't the kind of man to let things unravel without a contingency plan.
