Chapter 7 - Elena's TruthBefore Vivian could be taken away, Elena spoke.
“I know why she did it.”
Everyone turned.
Daniel looked at her.
“You do?”
Elena swallowed.
“I found something two weeks ago.”
“What?”
“A letter.”
She explained that while cleaning an upstairs cabinet, she had discovered an old envelope hidden behind a row of family documents.
It contained a handwritten note addressed to Vivian.
Elena had never opened it.
But she had seen the name on the outside.
Daniel's grandmother.
“What did it say?”
“I don't know.”
“Then why does my mother want you blamed?”
Elena shook her head.
“Because she saw me holding the envelope.”
Vivian's eyes widened.
For the first time, Daniel understood.
The necklace wasn't necessarily the real target.
