CHAPTER 21
The sad gloom of the Whitman mansion’s drawing room was interrupted as Ethan Montgomery bursted through the doors, with triumph boldly etched on his face, so unlike his normal expression. He looked like a man who had just stumbled upon a well in a desert.“I found it! I found him!” He announced happily and threw a thick wad of document on the oak coffee table which scattered a few art magazines. “Giovanni ‘Gio’ Chan. A titan in Milan. Private companies, manufacturing, and a growing interest in cutting edge with medical tech. He is interested!”Stella, who had been staring wishfully into the fireplace, sprang to her feet, with her eyes bright with hope. “Ethan!

But you are right, we can not ignore it. So, we won’t.”Then he turned to them, with a plan already fully formed in his eyes. “The two of you will go.
