I tightly grasped the velvet box in my hands, which contained evidence and my mother's unfinished hopes and dreams.
A surge of unprecedented strength coursed through me as if my mother's spirit was transmitting her power through this small box.
"Thank you, Mr. Fraser. I will protect myself and fulfill Mom's wishes," I said with conviction, my eyes shining with resolve and hope.
I realized this was not only for my mother but also for myself—finding true freedom and light for the part of me that had been bound by lies and deception.
I dragged my weary body back to my place. The revelations had weighed heavily on my mood.
After taking a moment to collect myself, I washed my face and applied light makeup, trying to look more vibrant despite my exhaustion.
Sitting at my desk, I gently opened the velvet box that carried my mother's hopes.
Inside was a thick stack of documents, each one detailing Jack's crimes and evidence of his collusion with criminals.
As I flipped through the pages, my anger grew with each revelation, but it also solidified my determination to expose the truth and seek justice for my mother.
The night fell, and the city lights flickered outside my window, failing to illuminate the dark corners of my heart.
I took a deep breath, opened my laptop, and began organizing the evidence, preparing to bring it to light.
But I quickly realized that my efforts alone were insignificant. It would be nearly impossible to go public with this information by myself.
I took out my phone and called Ethan.
