Chapter 19 - Emily Discovers a Long-Lost Secret Inside Elizabeth’s Journal
While organizing her mother’s old design room at home, Emily found a hidden compartment in the back of the writing desk.
Inside lay a heavy envelope sealed with red wax and addressed in her mother’s delicate cursive handwriting.
