Chapter 8 The Hidden Evidence
The police investigation moved quickly.
Security experts examined the mansion's surveillance system.
They discovered that several cameras had been disabled shortly before the incident involving Leo.
Richard immediately became suspicious.
Richard: Victoria knew exactly where the security controls were.
The police officer nodded.
Police Officer: That's why we're investigating everyone who had access to the system.
Sarah suddenly remembered something.
Sarah: Sir...
Richard turned toward her.
Sarah: The day before the accident, I saw Victoria talking to someone near the security room.
Richard: Who?
Sarah closed her eyes, trying to remember.
Sarah: I don't know his name.
Then she suddenly remembered something else.
Sarah: But I remember his uniform.
Police Officer: What kind of uniform?
Sarah: A maintenance company uniform.
The police immediately began checking the mansion's maintenance records.
Several hours later, they discovered the name of a contractor who had visited the property that morning.
His name was Daniel Carter.
But Daniel had disappeared.
Richard's attorney looked concerned.
Attorney: This could prove Victoria planned everything.
Richard clenched his fists.
Richard: Find him.
That evening, Sarah was walking through the garden when she heard a noise behind her.
She turned.
Nobody was there.
She continued walking.
Then her phone vibrated.
There was a message from an unknown number.
"Stop helping Richard, or you will regret it."
Sarah's hands began trembling.
She immediately showed the message to Richard.
His face turned dark with anger.
Richard: You're not staying here alone tonight.
Sarah: Sir, I'm not afraid.
Richard: I am.
Sarah looked surprised.

Richard lowered his voice.
Richard: I already failed to protect Leo once. I won't make the same mistake twice.
