Chapter 8 - Naomi Reveals Six Weeks Of Meticulously Logged Evidence
With Celeste hauled away in handcuffs and Dr. Voss detained by police downstairs, the bedroom fell into a heavy, suffocating silence.
Adrian stood frozen by the window, staring blankly out at the Greenwich lawns as if the ground beneath him had vanished entirely.
Naomi stepped forward, placing a thick leather-bound ledger on the mahogany writing desk right beside where Adrian stood in shock.
“What is this?” Adrian whispered hoarsely, not turning his head away from the dark glass pane reflecting his own shattered reflection.
“That is six weeks of meticulous logs detailing every single time Miss Arden and Dr. Voss tampered with your mother’s care,” Naomi answered.
Adrian slowly turned around, his eyes locking onto the weathered leather ledger containing dates, times, receipts, and witness notes.
“You noticed all of this while managing a seventeen-acre estate and a hundred-person staff?” Adrian asked in absolute disbelief.
“When you respect a home, Mr. Vale, you notice when someone is trying to burn it down from the inside,” Naomi replied steadily.
