Chen moves on Friday.
Not a dramatic move. The kind that looks, from the outside, like routine regulatory correspondence. A filing in the tertiary registry — which Patricia Chen is, presumably, monitoring — that suggests the Sterling Cross Singapore counter-party review is proceeding along standard compliance lines. Nothing alarming. Nothing that reads as discovery.
The kind of filing that a very careful person would read as normal.
The kind of filing that Chen designed to read as normal while being the specific trigger that would cause Patricia Chen to move one of her remaining dormant companies to active status.
She needs Patricia Chen to move.
Because a dormant company leaves no trail. An active company does.
"She's good," Hope says. Reading the filing at the kitchen table Friday morning before school.
Aria looks at her. "You found it."
