After the police arrived and took everyone’s statements, they moved Spencer’s body away. That’s when Lydia and Connor noticed a bloodstain on the floor, shaped like a T.
Country T? The thought flashed through both their minds. When they remembered Spencer’s last words, it felt like they finally had a real lead.
They exchanged a look, both thinking hard. Without wasting a second, they headed straight to Spencer’s office. It was a disaster zone, drawers yanked open and papers everywhere. When they checked the security cameras, the footage was gone. Someone had already wiped it.
Connor frowned, eyes sharp. “Spencer had someone helping him in the hospital.”
Garrett’s brows were drawn tight. “Whoever it was, they took everything.”
Lydia nodded. “Who could move that fast?”
Connor shook his head. “We checked everyone after we got here. Besides Spencer, nobody seemed off.”
Lydia’s eyes narrowed. Her mind was racing. “Spencer was trying to tell us something before he died. That means his accomplice was right there with us. He couldn’t come out and say it, not if he wanted to keep his family safe.”
Connor picked up the thread. “So, while we were waiting for the police, that person went to Spencer’s office and took all the evidence.”
A spark lit up in Garrett’s eyes. “That means they must know Spencer really well. They’d have to, to grab the right stuff and get out so fast.”
Suddenly, Lydia and Connor both looked up, the same name on their lips. “Vincent.”
Before they arrived, Vincent had practically been Spencer’s shadow. He handled everything, always with a smile, always on their side, always pushing to help the patients and staff. He seemed like the perfect team player.
However, it was all just an act.
Lydia let out a short, cold laugh. “Let’s go!”
Connor and Garrett split up to search the hospital, but Vincent was nowhere.
But of course, just when they needed it most, the dot disappeared. Gone.
The screen flashed: IP address not found. Tracking lost.
“Lydia, what now?” Garrett’s voice was tight with worry.
She glanced at the map. “He’s near the port. He must have smashed all his devices so we couldn’t follow him.”
Vincent really was an old pro. No wonder he fooled them all.
Just thinking about it made Lydia’s blood boil. When they caught him, she was going to make sure he paid.
By the time they reached the port, police were already there, sprinting toward the docks in a wild rush.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
