Chapter 7 – The Truth at Ashcombe Manor

Julian invited every shareholder, lawyer, and family member to Ashcombe Manor.

Margaret.

Threats.

Bribes.

Confessions.

The room erupted.

Police officers entered from every exit.

Victor tried to escape through the service corridor.

Julian blocked the doorway.

"It's over."

Lily shouted,

"Uncle Julian!"

Julian turned just in time.

The shot missed.
