Emily watched him carefully.
He wasn't nervous.
He was angry.
Almost offended.
"I wasn't even home," Ryan said.
"My phone proves it."
It did.
His GPS showed he had been across town at the exact time of the attack.
Emily's certainty began to crumble.

"There is something Mr. Parker never told you."
He placed an old envelope on the dining table.
Inside was their late father's revised will.
The room went cold.
The original estate had been divided equally between Daniel and Ryan.

Every company.
Every property.

Margaret Parker.
Daniel's own mother.
Emily felt her blood run cold.
