Chapter 10 - The ConfrontationRichard approached Evelyn.
"You really came."
"I was invited."
"I didn't invite you."
Evelyn smiled faintly.
"Then perhaps someone more powerful did."
His expression darkened.
"You've been asking questions."
"So have investigators."
Richard leaned closer.
"You don't know who you're dealing with."
Evelyn looked directly into his eyes.
"I know exactly who I'm dealing with."
He glanced toward Lily.
"Take the child away."
Two guards moved forward.
Lily screamed.
"Mom!"
Evelyn stepped between them.
"Don't touch her."
Richard's voice became colder.
"You're finished."
"No."
Evelyn reached into her coat.
She pulled out the silver drive.
