Chapter 4 - The Little Girl Whispers The Ultimate Family Secret
Little Lily buried her tear-stained face into her father’s shoulder, her small fingers clutching the lapel of his suit.
“Daddy... she didn't just push me because Grandpa said so,” the little girl whispered softly into the quiet room.
Arthur paused, his breath catching in his throat as he gently pulled his daughter back to look into her big eyes.
“What did she say, Lily? Tell Daddy everything,” Arthur encouraged her with a tender yet fierce urgency.
“Grandpa told her that if she didn't get rid of me, he would expose her secret about the offshore accounts,” Lily sobbed.
Jonathan’s face turned the color of ash, his mouth opening and closing like a fish stranded on dry sand.
“You lying little brat!” the stepmother shrieked, lunging forward with her fingernails bared like claws.
Before she could take two steps, two of the special agents intercepted her, slamming her wrists into heavy steel cuffs.
“Assaulting a federal witness adds another ten years to your federal sentence, madam,” the agent warned emotionless.
