Chapter 9 - The Box Behind The Lies
The silver key finally made sense.
It wasn’t for a door.
It was for a safe deposit box.
Inside were documents Evelyn had carefully protected.
Property records.
Account information.
And a recorded message.
Her voice filled the small room.
“Clarissa, if you’re hearing this, I’m sorry.”
I covered my mouth.
Hearing Evelyn again almost broke me.
She explained Julian had been stealing from her.
But she also revealed something worse.
He wasn’t working alone.
Someone inside the family had helped him.
The recording stopped before naming the person.
Then my phone rang.
Julian.
“You found it, didn’t you?”
I froze.
