Chapter_74
Sadie stood frozen, staring at the bank card in her hand. The weight of Felipe’s words and his hurried departure left her feeling more uncertain than ever. His unease, his refusal to answer her questions—there was something about it that didn’t sit right with her. The pieces of the puzzle were starting to fall into place, but they didn’t make sense.
Her mind kept returning to the same question: Why did her father die? There had to be more to the story than the version that everyone accepted. Her father’s sudden death, the mysterious bankruptcy of the Roth Group—it was all too convenient. And now, Felipe’s strange behavior only added to her suspicions.
The bank card, though, felt like a piece of the puzzle. It seemed like a peace offering of sorts, but Sadie couldn’t ignore the unsettling feeling that came with it. Was this really compensation, or was it meant to keep her quiet? To push her into accepting an incomplete truth?
She gripped the card tighter, feeling the weight of it in her palm, and made a decision. She wouldn’t let it go. She couldn’t. The questions about her father’s death, the timing of everything—there was something dark lurking beneath the surface, and she was determined to uncover it, no matter what.
Sadie looked around, making sure no one was watching, then slipped the card into her pocket and walked toward the car, her mind racing with thoughts of what she might do next. She had to find out the truth. She had to understand what really happened that day. And if it meant digging deeper into the past, even if it meant confronting people she didn’t want to, then so be it.
As she slid into the backseat, Vincent gave her a questioning glance but said nothing. He knew better than to ask what was on her mind when she was like this. But even without words, the tension between them was palpable. She wasn’t the same Sadie who had walked into that villa. Something had changed.
In the distance, she could see the headlights of the Clemens family’s car pulling up. She had no idea what the night would bring, but she knew one thing for certain: she was no longer just a bystander in her own life. The truth was out there, and she was going to find it.
