Stella spoke up. “The Sinclair family has been busy behind the scenes lately, looking into all sorts of things about the Langston family. They must have already caught wind of Evelina’s embezzlement and the financial crisis she caused for the Langstons. If so, that’s probably what they’ll use against you—you need to be careful.”

“I’m not too concerned about what happens to the Langston family,” Lemira replied, “because the Sinclairs won't have spare time to mess with anyone soon. Evelina’s father was arrested today. He’s agreed to turn himself in and testify against the Sinclairs.”

Stella’s eyes brightened. “That’s great news!”

Oanice nodded eagerly. “It’s just like they say—justice may be slow, but it always catches up in the end. They finally got what was coming to them.”

“Yeah,” Lemira replied, but something still didn’t sit right with her. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Things were happening a little too smoothly.

Evelina’s father had agreed to name the Sinclairs without even bargaining for anything in return. That in itself felt odd.

That night, lying in bed, Lemira couldn’t stop thinking about it. If only she could remember exactly what happened in that car accident all those years ago. It would save her from worrying whether Hale was lying to her or not.

But no matter how hard she tried, the memories wouldn’t come.

It left her feeling defeated.

The next morning, as soon as Lemira got up, Stella brought her some news. “They’ve found Mrs. Amelia. She’s already back at the Sinclair residence.”

Lemira wasn’t exactly surprised.

Orion had said the day before that he’d let Mrs. Amelia go—their side had Evelina’s father now, and the real confrontation with the Sinclairs was only a matter of time.

Stella hesitated for a second, then added, “Sounds like the Sinclair family has called the police. You and Orion should be extra careful.”

Lemira had never mentioned anything about Mrs. Amelia’s disappearance, but Stella could easily guess it had something to do with her and Orion.

The Sinclairs themselves hadn’t reported anything until now, probably out of guilt or fear. But now that they chose to involve the police, things might really stir up—and that would be bad news for Lemira, too.

Lemira gave Stella a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry about it.”
