Emma decided to read the letter aloud, knowing it was best both she and Lily were to know what was in it together.
She started, "Dearest Emma,"
"I know this letter is completely unanticipated, but this is more a warning than a normal one."
"I'd have never lied about telling you the truth of who your father was if not to keep you safe, but now that you know, as well as the rest of the world, I figured ZALE was the safest place for you to be."
"Dearest, I've to tell you something I've told no one before. Your birthright, something you're to inherit since the very day you were born."
"You, as the one and only heir of the Kennedy family, you're to inherit all the finances and funds in the trust your father entrusted to his remaining family."
"But, before any celebrations, be warned. With this comes hindrances. Other people, wanting whatever it is you, as the heir, will inherit."
