CHAPTER 3 — THE MAN WHO STOLE A CHILD

Richard Williams was Margaret’s former husband.

And the man who knew the truth.

Emily watched him walk forward.

“You knew?”

Her voice trembled.

“You knew who I was?”

Richard looked away.

“I knew from the beginning.”

Ethan grabbed his collar.

“You knew my mother’s missing daughter was Emily?”

Richard pushed him away.

“You don’t understand.”

Margaret screamed.

“Then explain!”

Richard finally confessed.

Thirty years ago, Margaret’s wealthy family had enemies.

Someone wanted revenge.

They hired a nurse to take Margaret’s newborn daughter.

But the plan failed.

The nurse changed her mind.

She secretly gave the baby to another family.

Emily’s adoptive parents.

Margaret covered her mouth.

“So Emily was alive all this time
”

Richard nodded.

“But there is more.”

Everyone became silent.

Margaret’s eyes widened.

“Who?”

Richard looked toward Ethan.
