"What about Director White? And Lanny?"
Aaron instantly realized that taking Jasper was Geoffrey's twisted way of reeling Catherine in.
"She's heading to the Lee estate. Lanny is with me," Lance replied.
"I'm on it. I'll find Davis right now and make sure he doesn't screw this up again!"
Aaron hung up and immediately set off to track down Davis.
Meanwhile, Davis was driving home with Latonia in the passenger seat.
The interior of the car was dead silent. Davis stared blankly at the road ahead while Latonia gazed out the window, neither speaking a word.
When they pulled into the driveway, they found Aaron waiting by the front door. Davis told Latonia to head inside first.
Once she was gone, Davis approached Aaron, his posture heavy with defeat.
"Lance sent you, didn't he?"
Aaron nodded sharply. "Mr. Lee, we're at the finish line. We can't afford any slip-ups now."
They had been so close. Geoffrey had been on the verge of losing the inheritance, and the evidence from the past was supposed to bury him for good. But now, the tables had completely turned.
"It's my fault," Davis admitted. "I'll need your help keeping things locked down over the next few days."
He immediately offered Aaron a place to stay. Lance wasn't going to let Davis make another mistake.
***
Geoffrey's residence was halfway up a mountain in the outskirts of Eldervale. By the time Catherine arrived, the massive front gates were wide open.
She had barely put the car in park when a figure rushed out of the villa.
"Catherine!"
Adela practically sprinted down the steps. "You actually came? He's completely lost his mind, targeting a little boy like that. Do you remember what I told you? I'll help you. We'll take the Lee family fortune together. It rightfully belongs to you anyway."
Catherine's eyes turned frosty. Everything about this place and these people filled her with pure revulsion.
