Chapter 7 - The Shocking Footage Reveals A Terrifying Family Conspiracy
Detective Vance swiped to a second video file on the tablet, loading a recorded conversation from a week prior.
The audio crackled to life, broadcasting Diane’s unmistakable voice speaking with an unknown male accomplice.
“Once the baby is born, we execute phase two. The trust fund reverts entirely to my control,” Diane’s voice echoed.
Emily covered her mouth with her hands, staring at the screen as the terrifying scope of the plot unraveled.
“Who was she talking to, Ryan? Do you recognize that man’s voice on the recording?” Detective Vance asked sharply.
Ryan listened intently as the second voice spoke, and a cold wave of betrayal washed over his entire body.
“That’s Marcus Sterling... my father’s former corporate attorney and family financial trustee,” Ryan choked out.
“Marcus? But he died in a car accident five years ago!” Emily exclaimed in sheer disbelief.
“That’s what we were supposed to believe,” Detective Vance corrected quietly, locking eyes with Ryan.
