Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 570

Robert nodded and logged the detail.

Phoebe stood nearby, her eyes glued to the photograph.

The boiling rage on her face slowly cooled into something far more chilling.

"I used to rack my brain trying to figure out why Quentin was in such a rush to label your mother mentally unstable," she murmured. "Now I get it. The exact moment he accepted that money was just too disgustingly filthy."

Maya magnified the photo.

"This wasn't a casual snapshot," Maya noted. "The angle is perfectly straight, the light source is fixed. It looks like someone snapped it right before running an official scan. It doesn't show the full document, only this specific entry. Whoever sent this wanted us to see the exact date and destination."

Wren stared at the monitor.

"He wants me to investigate Apex."

Phoebe turned to her. "Isn't that exactly what we want?"

"It could be a trap," Wren said. "Warren isn't even in the country, and Sean is actively crossing paths with Starbridge and Gavin. The fact that someone just dropped an inner page of the black ledger right into my lap proves they aren't afraid of me digging."

She stared at the words Apex Testing Team.

"They are trying to control exactly where I dig first."

Robert agreed. "The photo proves a lead exists, but it cannot replace the original document. It's entirely possible they fed us one genuine page only to feed us fabricated ones later to derail the investigation. Right now, our absolute priority is finding the original Ledger B-17 or its sequential pages."

Maya continued zooming in on the edges of the photo.

On the screen, the red ink caught a faint glare. Beneath the main page, another thin sheet seemed to be pinned down, exposing a microscopic corner.

Maya tweaked the contrast.

That tiny corner revealed a few blurry words.

Leftover Materials.

The conference room fell dead silent.

Wren's eyes locked onto those two words, a deep red bleeding into her vision.
