Chapter 10 - The Woman Who Turned the Ledger Against ThemI used the ledger to expose Victor without exposing innocent people.
Every corrupt official.
Every murderer.
Every criminal financier.
Evidence went anonymously to federal investigators and journalists.
Victor's network collapsed overnight.
Accounts froze.
Businesses were seized.
Allies disappeared.
His own men abandoned him.

"You betrayed your own father."
I looked at him.
"No."
"I am your father."
"You gave me your blood."
I stepped closer.
"My mother gave me a life."

"And he gave me a family."

Victor was arrested.
But the story wasn't over.
Because Margaret Greco revealed one final secret.
