Clara did not let go of Theo's hand again until they reached the car.The driver was already standing beside the rear door. He had the boot open before they arrived and took the bags without being asked."Thank you, Andrew," Clara said."Ma'am."Theo climbed in and pulled the belt across himself with great effort, the way he always did, refusing help he did not need.Then he stopped moving entirely."That's her."Clara looked up from her phone. "What?"Theo was pressed against the window with both palms flat on the glass, pointing across the pickup lane."That's the lady. The one who knew my name."Clara turned and looked.Across the lane, a plain grey saloon was pulling out of the loading zone. Nothing about it stood out. There were forty cars in that lane doing exactly the same thing at that exact moment.But Clara did notice one thing, and then immediately stopped thinking about it.The grey saloon had already been sitting there when she and Theo entered the pickup lane. Its engine

Ellsworth was shameless enough to suggest such a thing, and that annoyed Richard Garcia more than anything else that had happened all afternoon."Oh dear, calm down," Ellsworth said."Calm down? You are crazy! How dare you suggest such a thing? Maxwell is married to my daughter!""Well, that is true," Ellsworth admitted. "But I am only introducing my daughter.""For what?" Richard demanded. "So they can become friends?"Ellsworth opened his mouth, but Richard did not allow him to answer."He is married! Do you understand that word? Married!""I know he is married," Ellsworth said."Then why are you still talking?""Because..."Ellsworth stopped. For a second he had no words at all.Then he sighed and said what everybody at that table had been thinking for the past hour and nobody had been rude enough to say."Come on, Richard. You and I both know those two are not in love. They do not even live in the same house! What kind of marriage is that? To me it sounds like a marriage in troubl

“What exactly did you manage for them?” Clara asked.Evelyn responded very professionally. “The household had five permanent members and six employees, including myself. I arranged the staff schedules, monitored household spending and handled payments to regular suppliers. I also ordered groceries, managed the inventory and arranged repairs whenever they were needed.”Satisfied with the answer, and the manner it was answered, Clara asked another question. “What about meals?”“The family had a cook. I prepared the weekly menu with her and made sure she knew about guests, dietary restrictions and changes to the family’s schedule.”“And when they entertained?”“I coordinated with outside caterers when the event was too large for the household staff. I arranged additional cleaners, received deliveries and made sure the guest areas were prepared before anyone arrived.”Clara nodded. Those were exactly the responsibilities Mrs Holmes had handled.Clara continued with several more questions

That same day, Daniel returned home, and he and Clara spoke at length about Evelyn.Daniel agreed that the entire situation was suspicious.Evelyn had approached Theo without permission, asked him personal questions and disappeared the moment Clara called him. She had then gone through an entire interview without mentioning that she had already spoken to the child whose home she was applying to work inside.None of that looked good.However, suspicion was not proof.They had nothing showing that Evelyn intended to harm Theo or had bad intentions towards the Sterling family. Her explanation about recognising him from the newspaper article was reasonable, and the missing posters could explain why she remembered his face so clearly.After calling the employment agency, they had already verified most of the information in her application. She had a permanent address, fourteen years of employment with the Harrington family and references from people whose identities could easily be confirm

At the same time.Inside Sterling headquarters, Maxwell stood beside the windows of his office, looking down at the city.The announcement had been public for less than forty minutes. This wasn't just an average announcement, it was a big step. The kind of thing that Maxwell knew would make Sterling Industries more enemies, as much as friends.The only issue is that, while Sterling Industries would make more friends than enemies, they would make more powerful enemies on top of the Zeniths. Not that he was afraid, he was just aware of that.Behind him, Hazel was reading through the messages arriving on her tablet.“Communications has received more calls this morning than it usually receives in an entire week,” she informed him. “The supplier portal is struggling with the traffic.”“Is it still working?” Maxwell asked.“For now.” She responded.“That doesn’t sound reassuring.”“It wasn’t intended to.”Maxwell turned away from the window.Natasha was seated on the other side of his desk
