MasukChapter 49: The Stranger Who Knew HerThe photograph remained on the table.Amelia couldn't stop looking at it.The child in the picture was older than the baby shown in the original hospital records. The silver necklace around their neck was unmistakable.Alexander recognized it.Victoria feared it.And Richard seemed to know more than he wanted to admit."Who is this person?" Charlotte finally asked.Nobody answered.Amelia turned toward Alexander."You said your father gave that necklace to someone. Who?"Alexander rubbed his forehead."When I was younger, I remember seeing my father give a silver necklace to a woman at a private family gathering. He told everyone she was an old family friend.""Do you remember her name?" Amelia asked."No. I was too young."Victoria walked toward the ta
Chapter 48: The Name on the Record"Isabelle Laurent."The name echoed through the room.Amelia stared at Alexander's phone, hoping she had misunderstood what the security officer had said."Read it again," she demanded.Alexander looked at the message."The emergency contact on Grace Bennett's surviving record is Isabelle Laurent."Charlotte slowly sat down."But Mother disappeared years ago. How could she be listed as an emergency contact?"Richard took the document from Alexander."Perhaps someone used her name without her permission."Daniel shook his head."That doesn't explain why the record was kept active."Victoria remained silent.Amelia turned toward her."You knew my mother better than anyone in this family. Is there something you're still hiding?"Victoria looked exhauste
Chapter 47: The Child Was Moved AgainThe room fell silent.Alexander stood beside the desk, staring at the document in his hands. His father's signature was unmistakable. Beneath it was a date, written years after the fourth child's original transfer.Amelia watched his expression change."What is it?" she asked.Alexander slowly placed the paper on the desk."My father authorized another transfer."Richard stepped forward. "Another one?""Yes. The child wasn't simply placed with a family and forgotten. Someone moved them again."Charlotte looked at the document. "Why would anyone do that?""Because someone found out where the child was," Alexander replied.Daniel crossed his arms. "Or because the person who had the child wanted to make sure nobody could find them."Amelia studied the signature. "We need to know who requested the transfer and where the child went."Alexander turned toward his head of security."Find every record connected to this authorization. I want the legal offi
Chapter 46: The Second SignatureAlexander stared at the document on his computer screen.His mother's signature was unmistakable.For years, Victoria had insisted that she knew very little about what happened on the night Isabelle disappeared. She had admitted signing an agreement, but she had never mentioned signing a hospital document connected to the fourth child.Now her name was sitting directly beneath Evelyn Carter's.Alexander slowly looked toward the doorway.Victoria stood there, her hands clasped together. Her expression was difficult to read, but the fear in her eyes revealed more than she intended."Mother," Alexander said quietly. "Tell me why your signature is on this document."Victoria stepped into the office."Where did you get that?""That isn't an answer."She looked at the screen and swallowed."I can explain.""Then explain."Victoria glanced at Amelia, Charlotte, and Daniel, who had gathered behind Alexander."This is a family matter."Amelia stepped forward."
Chapter 45: The Nurse Who Knew Too MuchAlexander stared at the photograph on his computer screen.The woman standing outside the hospital appeared to be in her late fifties. She wore a nurse's uniform and held a small folder against her chest. Although the photograph was old, her face was clear.Someone had written a warning on the back.She knows where the fourth child is. But she was not the one who took the baby.Alexander leaned back in his chair.If the nurse hadn't taken the child, then who had? And why had someone gone to such lengths to keep her identity hidden?He immediately called Amelia."I received another photograph.""Of the nurse?""Yes. Someone sent it to my computer. There's a message on the back."Alexander read the warning aloud.Amelia was quiet for a moment."That means she knows what happened, but she may not know who made the final decision.""That's what I'm thinking.""Can you find her?""I'm already asking my security team to investigate. But there's somet
Chapter 44: The Signature of the PastRichard stared at the document in his hands.For several minutes, he barely moved. The old paper contained names, signatures, and instructions that had been hidden for years. But one name stood out more than the others.Thomas Hale.Richard knew Thomas had been connected to the Laurent and Blackwood families for decades. He had handled legal arrangements, attended private meetings, and worked closely with Edward Laurent. However, Richard had never imagined that Thomas might have been involved in the disappearance of Isabelle's fourth child.He read the final paragraph again.The document confirmed that a transfer had taken place under family authorization. It also contained a witness signature and a second signature belonging to Alexander's father.Richard's phone vibrated.It was a message from an unknown number.You should put the document back where you found it. Some truths are better left alone.Richard immediately looked toward the office do
