Chapter 11 - Sarah Delivers The Crucial Testimony Against Cold Evelyn
Back inside the grand foyer, a federal investigator sat at the mahogany table taking a formal statement from Sarah.
Sarah detailed every instance of abuse, locked doors, and hidden letters she had witnessed during her years working at the mansion.
“She threatened to ruin my family if I ever spoke a single word about the little girl in the wall,” Sarah explained.
“You did the right thing coming forward today, Sarah; your testimony seals the indictment,” the federal agent assured her.
Marcus walked into the foyer, placing a heavy, appreciative hand on Sarah’s shoulder for her bravery and loyalty.
“Thank you, Sarah, for protecting my daughter when no one else in this house had the courage to do so,” Marcus said.
“I just wanted Lily to be safe, Mr. Reynolds... no child deserves to live like a prisoner,” Sarah replied softly.
The federal investigator packed his laptop into a leather briefcase, standing up to shake hands with Marcus before leaving.
“We have enough physical evidence and eyewitness testimony to put away the entire corporate syndicate backing her,” the agent noted.
