Chapter 9 - Detective Miller Discovers Tampered Brake Lines on the Car
Detective Miller unlocked the silver box using a small brass key that Lily produced from her pocket.
Inside sat Sarah’s original handwritten journal, corporate audit documents, and legal power-of-attorney forms.
“Look at these financial routing sheets, Mark,” Detective Miller said, handing a paper over to the grieving husband.
“Nora forged Sarah’s signature to transfer ownership of your family home and savings accounts over to her name.”

“And look at this maintenance receipt dated two days before Sarah’s fatal car crash,” Miller added quietly.
The receipt detailed an anonymous service request for tampering with brake lines on Sarah’s sedan.
“She didn't lose control during that storm... Nora cut her brakes,” Mark whispered, his voice trembling with horror.
