Kelly’s POV
[Tell me you secured the documents I gave you, Kelly.]
I inserted the flash drive on my new laptop and typed the password I input. The photos of the documents he gave are here. Complete.
“It burned down with my condo unit, Attorney.”
[What? Kelly! That’s the only copy of the investigation file. The investigator died right after your grandmother died. That’s the only thing we have against your mother’s siblings.]
I smiled bitterly. “That’s why I’m asking for your advice, Attorney. I have nothing against them anymore. Do you know a way to get a copy of the documents? Maybe the investigator still has a copy?”
[There’s no other copy, Kelly. Now, I don’t know how to help you anymore.]
I sighed after he ended the call. I know lying to him is wrong because he’s just trying to help me but I can’t help it. I need to secure everything I have even if it means lying to everyone around me.
“Is something wrong?” That’s Emily, drinking wine.
