Nathaniel's POV
"What do we know about her?" I asked Raymond, pacing near the window of my office.
Raymond adjusted his glasses. "Juliana Johnson. Twenty-six. Supposedly the illegitimate daughter of Cameron Johnson. Left home at eighteen. Lives in an average apartment downtown. Works as a lab assistant at Meridian Pharmaceuticals."
I stopped pacing. "That doesn't add up. A lab assistant doesn't earn enough for the lifestyle she maintains."
"Exactly. Her finances show multiple income streams—all legitimate but carefully obscured. She owns several small businesses through shell companies."
I narrowed my eyes. "So she's hiding something."
"Without question. And her education records are impressive. Multiple degrees in biochemistry and pharmacology, all obtained quietly."
My phone buzzed. The hospital. I answered immediately.
"Mr. Ricardo, Dr. Lin here. I've reviewed your grandmother's case. I believe we should try that experimental treatment you mentioned."
