Chapter 6 - The Mechanic
Vincent’s hands shook so violently the papers rattled. "My father is dead, Sofia. He died of a heart attack five years ago. He can't pay for what he did."
"No, he can't," Sofia agreed, her eyes burning with a sudden, fierce intensity. "But the mechanic who actually cut the brake lines is still very much alive. And he’s sitting in your living room right now."
Vincent’s head snapped up.
"What?" Vincent demanded, his voice dropping into a lethal, terrifying growl.
"Your new estate manager," Sofia stated clearly. "Gregory. He changed his last name, but it's him. I recognized him from the private investigator files my mother left at the convent. I took the job as a maid to get close to him. To find the proof."
Vincent’s mind short-circuited. Gregory. The man he had hired six months ago to oversee the massive estate renovations. The man who had been acting increasingly arrogant and entitled.
"The missing watch, Vincent," Sofia said, pointing to the empty dresser. "I didn't steal it. I saw Gregory slip it into his pocket an hour ago. He's been robbing you blind since the day you hired him. He feels entitled to your wealth because he helped your father secure it."
