When Lemira said this, Hale looked up in anger. “The Sinclairs are lying. After all, I was the Langston family's driver. Your parents treated me well—why would I ever agree to harm the Sinclairs, let alone commit murder? This is such a serious crime—what good would money be to me if I couldn’t even live to spend it?”

As Lemira listened to Hale, she thought, “Perfect—a fight among thieves.” This was a golden opportunity.

“But according to the Sinclairs, you’re the main suspect. And all these years, you’ve been blackmailing Mrs. Amelia for so much money. That alone gives credibility to what they’re saying,” Lemira pressed.

She caught the flash of panic in Hale’s expression—was something hidden beneath the surface after all?

Orion looked steadily at Evelina’s father. “You have to tell us the truth about what really happened back then—and you need to provide proof that it was the Sinclairs who hired you to kill. That’s your only shot at survival. Otherwise, considering how the Sinclairs handle things, do you really think you’ll make it out alive?”

Orion’s words hit home. After years dealing with the Sinclairs, Hale understood all too well what kind of people they were.

Orion continued coldly, “Hand over the evidence you have.”

“I don’t have any evidence,” Hale replied.

“If you have no evidence, how is it you’ve been able to blackmail the Sinclairs for all these years? Why would they quietly pay you and never try to get rid of you?”

That simply didn’t add up.

“Unless Hale is holding onto something—proof strong enough to sink the entire Sinclair family. That would be the only reason they’ve swallowed their pride and paid up year after year.”

But Lemira saw that Hale kept his mouth firmly shut, clearly unwilling to reveal anything.

“If he won’t talk, let me at him,” Asher said, venom lacing his voice. Years of pent-up resentment boiled over, impossible to suppress.
