Chapter 52 - THE TRUTH ABOUT MY MOTHERMy mother had not stolen the money.

But she had moved it.

She had secretly transferred millions into Eleanor's trust.

Why?

Because the money had originally belonged to employees.

My father had been preparing to take it.

He had planned to destroy the company's pension fund.

My mother had discovered the plan.

She had moved the money to protect hundreds of families.

Eleanor had helped her.

But when my father discovered what had happened, Eleanor disappeared.

My mother had remained silent.

She had believed silence would protect me.

But silence had only allowed the family to grow more dangerous.

I looked at her journal.

The final entry was dated one week before Eleanor vanished.

IF THEY COME FOR SOPHIE, THE TRUTH MUST COME OUT.

I closed the book.

Then I heard footsteps.
