Chapter 6 - THE MAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH

Rachel held the picture carefully.
âYou knew her.â
David closed his eyes.
âYes.â
The agent stepped closer.
âWho was she?â
David answered quietly.
âEmilyâs mother.â
Rachel stared at him.
âThen why did you tell everyone she was gone?â
David looked destroyed.
âBecause Victoria forced me.â
Victoria shouted.
âDonât listen to him!â
But nobody believed her anymore.
David continued.
âShe found out Emily existed.â
âShe wanted control.â
Rachel looked at Emily.
The little girl was listening.
Every word hurting her.
The agent asked.
âWhy would Victoria want control over a child?â
David hesitated.
Then he said something shocking.
âBecause Emily inherited something.â
Rachel frowned.
âWhat?â
David looked at Victoria.
âA company.â
May you like
âA fortune.â
âAnd information that could destroy Victoria.â
