Trent nodded.
“Fine.
Spill it.
What’s the secret?”
Joselyn swallowed hard, then said in a low, deliberate voice, “I know that Hannah’s mother was killed by Amelie.
”
“What ?”
Trent and Keith’s eyes widened, both of them stunned.
“What did you just say?” Trent demanded.
Taking a breath, Joselyn said clearly, “I overheard it.
A year ago, when I was about to knock on Amelie’s room door, I heard her on the phone.
She said everything had been carefully arranged, and no one would notice if she moved against Hannah.
Father didn’t even know Hannah’s true identity back then.
”
Joselyn paused, watching their reactions before continuing, “Amelie said Hannah’s return was a threat to her because Hannah was Father’s daughter.
If the truth came out about what happened years ago, it would all point back to Amelie.
So she wanted the person on the phone to help her kill Hannah in Cadilind.
But there’s more.
Amelie kept another secret.
In an abandoned mental hospital, she hid a girl-someone who looked just like Hannah after surgery.
She planned to replace Hannah with this girl once the real Hannah was dead so she could control the entire Compton family Like puppets.
”
The revelation left Trent and Keith speechless, shock written all over their faces.
The weight of Joselyn’s words hung heavily in the room.
They had never expected Amelie to be the murderer.
Still struggling to believe what he had just heard, Trent asked, “Can you swear that what you’ve said is true?”
“Do you think I’d lie at this point? Everything I’ve said is true,”
Joselyn, visibly nervous but determined, replied.
Trent nodded, his tone dark.
“I’m warning you-if any part of this is a lie, you’ll never leave this room again.
”
Clenching her fists, Joselyn didn’t dare protest.
“When can I leave?”
“We keep our promises.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
As soon as we confirm your story, you’ll be free,” Keith replied.
He signaled to Trent and said, “Come on, let’s go first.
”
The two of them stepped outside, walking in tense silence.
Trent spoke first.
“Should we tell Father? What she said could be a lie-just her way of getting out.
”
Keith frowned.
“She didn’t seem like she was lying.
If this is true, Father’s going to be furious.
”
“But we don’t know for sure yet.
Father will blame us if we jump the gun and tell him it’s all false.
”
Keith sighed, rubbing his temples.
“You’re right.
We’ll investigate quietly.
If Joselyn’s telling the truth, we’ll bring everything to Father.
”
Trent glanced at his brother.
“Should we tell Hannah first?”
