Chapter 3 — The Man Behind Everything
Margaret opened the journal.
Inside were names.
Bank transfers.
Photographs.
Every page pointed toward one man.
Richard's younger brother.
Charles Vale.
Emily couldn't speak.
Richard arrived moments later.
The instant he saw Charles's name...
His face turned pale.
"My own brother..."
Margaret nodded.
"He wanted control of the family company."
"If you disappeared..."
"The inheritance changed."
Richard remembered something he hadn't thought about in decades.
Charles had insisted on handling the investigation himself.
He had discouraged outside detectives.
He had even arranged Margaret's arrest before she escaped.
Everything suddenly made sense.
