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
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 71: The Authority Behind The Ring
Clara’s POVThe sentence on the back of the inventory bothered me more than the missing signature.Release to the bearer of the grandfather's authority.It sounded official enough to convince an employee to hand over something valuable. But it didn't identify who had the right to receive it.Someone had created a way for the ring to speak on behalf of my grandfather, even when he wasn't present to give permission.And someone had taken advantage of it.“Can the handwriting be identified?” I asked the document examiner during our meeting the following morning.He placed the inventory beneath a magnifying lamp.“We can compare it with known samples, but I need original documents. This is a photocopy, and the writing is faint.”Daniel slid another folder across the table.“These are letters from Grandfather's office. Some were written by Edwin Cross, and others by the office administrator.”The examiner checked the samples one by one.“I'll need time to compare them properly. I don't wan
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 70: The Man Who Signed Nothing
Clara’s POVHarold Bennett arrived at the meeting carrying a brown leather folder.He was older than I expected, with thin white hair and a walking stick resting against his chair. His eyes moved from Daniel to me before settling on the inventory placed in front of him.“Is this the original?” he asked.“No,” our lawyer replied. “It's a copy from the Montecillo family archive. The original hasn't been located.”Harold studied the document.“I remember preparing this.”Daniel leaned forward. “You were responsible for recording the transfer of the signet ring?”“I prepared the inventory. I didn't personally hand over the item.”“Who did?”Harold adjusted his glasses.“Mr. Cross.”Edwin Cross.“Was he authorized to take the ring?” I asked.“He said he had instructions from Mr. Montecillo. At the time, I didn't question it. Edwin had worked for the family for years.”“Did you see him wearing it?”“No. He had it inside a small velvet box.”I looked at Daniel.“Did he sign for it?”Harold s
The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became Chapter 69: The Signature That Was Never Written
Clara’s POV“Your grandfather was too ill to leave his room that morning?”Father nodded.“He had been weak for days. The doctor advised him to rest, and Edwin was the one handling most of his correspondence.”“Then why was his signature expected on the inventory?” Daniel asked.“Because the ring belonged to him. Any transfer of that authority should have been recorded and approved by him personally.”I looked at the blank space beneath the entry.Signet ring temporary custody transferred, October 17.There was a line for the recipient's signature, but nothing had been written there.“Could Edwin have taken it without permission?” I asked.“It's possible,” Father replied. “But I won't accuse him based on an empty signature line.”I understood his caution. We had already seen how easily incomplete records could lead us in the wrong direction.Daniel picked up the inventory.“Who prepared this?”“Your grandfather's office administrator. His name was Harold Bennett. He retired shortly af
