Chapter 3 - The Unsealed EnvelopeDaniel had spent six long years making sure Abigail never came home, poisoning her reputation within the family after our father passed away.
âAbigail...?â Daniel stammered, his voice cracking as he took an involuntary step backward into the foyer. âWhat are you doing here? You haven't spoken to Mom in years!â
âI haven't spoken to Mom because you intercepted her mail, blocked my phone number on her landline, and told me she was in memory care!â Abigail fired back, stepping directly into the living room.
Behind her, Arthur Pendeltonâthe cityâs premier trust and estate attorneyâstepped inside, setting his leather briefcase onto the glass dining table.
Melissa rushed out from the kitchen, her wine glass nearly spilling onto her silk blouse. âWho are these people?! Daniel, call the police!â
âPlease do call the police, Mrs. Vance,â Attorney Pendelton stated smoothly, opening a certified court envelope. âIn fact, we have two state police investigators waiting at the end of the street.â
