Chapter 15 - Lily Provides Crucial Testimony To Law Enforcement
Later that afternoon, Lily sat in the sunlit drawing room speaking with Detective Miller from the county precinct.
She recounted every detail of the abuse she suffered and the overheard phone conversation in the study.
“You showed incredible bravery today, Lily; your testimony is vital to the prosecution’s case,” Detective Miller praised.
Lily smiled softly, holding a cup of warm tea in her bandaged hands with renewed confidence.
“I just wanted the truth to come out, sir; Mr. Marcus deserved to know what happened to his brother,” Lily said.
Marcus walked into the drawing room, holding a thick envelope containing financial compensation and a recommendation letter.
“For your courage and loyalty, Lily, you are appointed as the new estate manager starting tomorrow,” Marcus announced.
Lily’s eyes widened in disbelief and gratitude as she accepted the folder from her employer.
