I didn’t yet know exactly what Julian was planning.
But I knew one thing.
I wasn’t going to confront him alone.
## Part 2: The Secret Behind the Policies
The moment Julian went upstairs, I called Marcus.
He had been my father’s attorney for decades and still managed several matters connected to our family estate.
I told him everything.
Caleb’s call.
Julian entering the house after claiming to be somewhere else.
The hidden insurance policies.
The signatures.
Marcus became serious immediately.
“Clara, don’t accuse him of anything yet.”
“Why?”
“Because we need facts before assumptions.”
That calmed me slightly.
Then he told me something I didn’t expect.
Julian’s investment company had been experiencing serious financial problems.
Marcus had heard rumors that several projects were failing and that some lenders were demanding repayment.
“How bad is it?”
“I don’t know yet,” he said. “But if these policies were created without your knowledge, we need to document everything properly.”
