The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 77: The Man Who Borrowed My Grandfather's Name
Clara’s POVI barely slept after Martin's call.Someone had entered the private office using my grandfather's name, but Martin couldn't confirm whether the visitor was actually Rafael Montecillo. He had only followed the instructions given to him.The more I thought about it, the more one question bothered me.Why would someone need to pretend to be my grandfather if they already had permission to enter the building?Daniel arrived the next morning with a printed copy of the visitor sheet.“Martin agreed to give a formal statement,” he said. “He's also willing to help us identify the person who entered the office.”“Did he remember anything else?”“He said the visitor had a noticeable limp.”I looked up.The same detail Thomas Reed had mentioned about the person who carried the leather case out of the building.“Did Martin see his face?”“Only briefly. He said the man kept his head lowered when they passed the reception desk.”I took the document from him.“Then we need to find someon
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 76: The Visitor Behind the Initials
Clara’s POVThe visitor sheet was placed between Daniel and me.I had been staring at it for several minutes, trying to make sense of the faded handwriting. There were two entries dated October 18, eighteen years ago.The first was almost unreadable.The second carried Martin Hale's initials, followed by a short note.Private office personal delivery.According to the anonymous message, Martin hadn't signed for the visitor. He had signed for the person who was waiting.It was a strange distinction, but it could change everything.“Have you spoken to Martin?” I asked.Daniel shook his head. “Our lawyer tried calling him, but his phone is switched off.”“Maybe he's avoiding us.”“Or maybe he hasn't received the call.”I looked at the document again.“We shouldn't accuse him without hearing his explanation.”Daniel nodded and forwarded the scanned sheet to our lawyer. We asked for a handwriting examination and requested permission to inspect the original visitor log.Less than an hour la
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 75: The Person Who Left With The Case
Clara’s POVThe message stayed on my screen long after I had read it.Check the service entrance camera records. The person who carried the case out wasn't wearing a courier uniform.Daniel read it again.“Whoever sent this knows more than Martin admitted.”“Or they're trying to make us doubt his statement.”“Either way, we need to verify it.”I put my phone away. “Then let's find out whether those camera records still exist.”Our legal team contacted the company that had managed security at the old administrative building. The original footage was long gone, but the company had kept some maintenance and incident logs. We were told that the service entrance camera had malfunctioned on October 18, eighteen years ago.That alone wasn't proof of anything.However, the repair report included a note stating that the camera had been manually disconnected for approximately twelve minutes that afternoon.“Convenient,” Daniel muttered as he read it.“Do we know who requested the disconnection?
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 74: The Name Missing From the Receipt
Clara’s POVI couldn't stop looking at the receipt.Margaret had said she returned the private seal to Edwin on October 18. The document seemed to support her statement, but the second line told a different story.Received on behalf of the executive office.There was no signature.No employee number.No name.“Someone collected it in Edwin's name,” Daniel said.“Or someone wanted the record to look that way.”He placed the receipt beside the inventory.“The ring was collected on October 17. The seal was returned on October 18. Both records have missing signatures.”“And both involve the executive office.”I leaned back.“Who was working there on October 18?”Daniel opened the personnel directory we had obtained earlier.“Margaret, Edwin, Lydia, and several administrative employees.”“Lydia might remember who collected it.”“Then we'll ask her.”I looked at the receipt again.There was a small handwritten mark near the bottom corner. It resembled the letter L, but it was too faint to i
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 73: The Seal That Opened Every Door
Clara’s POVThe private seal.That was the first thing I wrote in my notebook the next morning.Margaret had mentioned it during our phone call, and the anonymous message had repeated it. Whoever was sending those messages seemed to know exactly which details would push us toward the next piece of evidence.I didn't trust the sender.But I couldn't ignore the possibility that the seal had something to do with the missing letter.Daniel arrived carrying a folder from the estate archive.“I found the old property records,” he said. “There are several references to your grandfather's private seal.”“Did you find out who had access to it?”“Not yet. The records only show that it was kept in his personal office.”I opened the folder.One document listed the items stored inside the office safe. Among them were two signet rings, a personal seal, and a small metal stamp used for confidential correspondence.“Two rings?” I asked.Daniel checked the page.“One was the family signet ring. The ot
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 72: The Code They Both Knew
Clara’s POV“Margaret knew the code?”I repeated Father's words because I wanted to make sure I hadn't misunderstood him.“Yes,” he replied. “Your grandfather trusted her with certain private matters. She was familiar with the way Edwin handled confidential instructions.”Daniel stood beside me, listening to the call.“Does that mean Margaret could have authorized the ring transfer?” I asked.“Not necessarily. Knowing the code and having permission to use it are two different things.”I closed my eyes briefly.Another detail. Another connection. Still no clear answer.“Why didn't you tell us about this before?”“Because I didn't remember the code until I saw the photograph. It hasn't been used in years.”“Dad, this involves a letter about me. I need you to tell us everything you remember, even if you think it's insignificant.”“I understand, Clara.”He sounded tired.Before ending the call, he promised to search his remaining papers for documents containing the same notation.Daniel w
