Derek moved toward the exit.
Eleanor stepped in front of him.
“Going somewhere?”
He stopped.
Claire looked toward the ballroom doors.
Then several security officers appeared.
Behind them walked Ethan Reese.
Derek froze.
Ethan looked directly at him.
“We need to talk.”
Derek tried to stay calm.
“About what?”
Ethan held up a thick file.
“About the accounts you thought nobody would ever trace.”
Claire stared at Derek.
His confidence disappeared completely.
Eleanor looked at her.
“This is why I needed you to stay.”
Claire finally understood.
She had unknowingly witnessed the final piece of a much larger investigation.
