Chapter 5 - The Sister's Vow

The room went completely silent once again.

Isabella backed away further, her heels clicking nervously against the marble. "Her sister...? You hired your dead wife's sister as a maid?!"

"When my sister died two years ago, I promised her I would watch over Ethan," Emma explained, her voice steady and full of quiet authority. "I knew you were after the Sterling inheritance, Isabella. I applied for this job under my maiden name just to keep my eyes on my nephew."

Emma pulled a small black recording device out from her apron pocket and held it up for everyone to see.

"I set up audio monitors in the library yesterday when I noticed the wall frame had been moved," Emma continued. "I have every word Isabella said to her lawyer recorded right here."

Isabella lunged forward, her fingers clawing at the air. "Give me that!"
