Chapter 19 - THE LAST PERSON TO ENTER THE ROOMThe evidence was overwhelming.

Martin was arrested.

Several executives were charged.

The foundation's money was recovered.

Evelyn was still missing.

But one question remained.

Who had taken the photograph of Lily inside the estate?

The security team reviewed the cameras.

They found the answer.

A woman had entered through the service gate.

She wore a maintenance uniform.

But the face was hidden.

The woman went directly to Lily's room.

She stood outside the door.

Then she left.

The image was enhanced.

Charles stared at the screen.

He recognized her.

His mother's former assistant.

A woman who had worked for the family for more than thirty years.

She was arrested the next morning.

During questioning, she finally revealed the truth.

Evelyn had been hiding at an old private property.

But she had not been acting alone.

Someone had helped her.

Someone who had been watching the family for years.

The assistant gave the police one name.

“Richard.”

Charles' dead brother.

Charles stared at her.

“That is impossible.”

The woman shook her head.

“No.”
