Chapter 10 - I Thought the Worst Was Over—Until the Police Found the Real Reason Evelyn Wanted My HouseThe investigators discovered something unexpected.
Evelyn wasn't after the house because of David's debts.
There was another property.
A commercial building.
My father had owned it.
After his death, it had been transferred into my name.
Its value had increased dramatically.
Evelyn knew.
She had planned to use the house documents to establish a false pattern of ownership.
Then she intended to pressure me into signing over the commercial property.
The house was only the beginning.
She wanted everything.
My inheritance.
My father's legacy.
My daughter's future.
I felt sick.
Daniel looked at me.
“She planned this carefully.”
“Yes.”
“But she made one mistake.”
“What?”
“She underestimated you.”
I shook my head.
“She underestimated Chloe.”
May you like
Daniel smiled.
“That too.”
