Laura finally spoke with a quiet voice and said, “I tried many times to tell you the truth but I was always stopped before I could reach you.”
Cassian opened the suitcase again and found financial papers, insurance files, and transfer records that matched Grace Walker’s written warnings.
Elise suddenly shouted, “Grace Walker was controlling your mind even after her death and she wanted to control everything in this house.”
Sarah immediately responded and said, “Laura is the only person who kept us safe when Elise scared us every day.”
Cassian stood up and said, “Laura Bennett is now more important to this family than you will ever be because she stayed when others created fear.”
Elise became angry and knocked a framed photo of Grace Walker onto the floor, breaking the glass across the hallway.
Cassian grabbed her arm firmly and said, “You will not destroy anything else in this house again.”
Soon after that, security staff entered the hallway along with lawyer Rowena Hayes and Commander Felix Stone who had been called immediately.
Cassian spoke clearly and said, “I am starting legal action for fraud, abuse toward minors, and financial manipulation in this household.”
