CHAPTER 4 — VANESSA'S FATHER ARRIVES

The ballroom doors opened again.

This time, the man entering wasn't a historian.

It was Richard Collins.

Vanessa's father.

The billionaire donor who funded almost everything at the school.

He marched straight toward the principal.

"I heard there was some ridiculous scene."

Then he noticed the crest.

His face turned white.

Professor Harrington recognized him instantly.

"You..."

Richard looked ready to run.

Professor Harrington stepped forward.

"You've spent twenty years buying stolen Ashbourne artifacts on the black market."

The room exploded with whispers.

Vanessa stared at her father.

"Dad?"

Professor Harrington pointed toward the silk packets.

"Those documents identify every stolen piece."

Richard Collins realized exactly what that meant.
