She didn’t bother targeting the surviving family members.
They were already living overseas, and the injured technician had long passed away.
Proving he was the one who betrayed Sinclair Enterprises would be next to impossible.
Still, if he provided material evidence to the Kellers, digital traces were guaranteed to remain.
Isabella scrolled through the family’s recent surveillance profiles with cold detachment.
Life hadn’t been kind to them abroad.
Keller Group had kept their word by shipping them overseas alongside a substantial cash payout, but once the injured insider died, the family found themselves in dire straits.

Reet access to C-suite executives.
Why had he singled out Ascent Dynamics specifically?
First, Ascent Dynamics was a prominent multinational joint venture.
Second, he must have had an acquaintance working inside the firm.
With effortless precision, Isabella extracted a forgotten email fragment from Ascent Dynamics’ deep archive servers.
The message was long expired and had been scrubbed through multiple shredder passes.
