Chapter 12 - The Surprise

One afternoon, Claire received a letter.
It was from the state attorney general's office.
She opened it with trembling hands.
Inside was a check.
A large check.
"You are entitled to a portion of the funds recovered from the Bellacourt fraud," the letter read.
"Please accept this as a token of our gratitude."

Claire stared at the check.
It was life-changing.
It was freedom.
---
She used the money to start a foundation.
The Grace Foundation.
It helped families affected by corporate fraud.
It provided legal assistance.
It offered counseling.
