Jacob was at the end of his rope.
"Come with me." Rosalynn said calmly.
Bewildered, Jacob followed Rosalynn out of the villa, down a hushed path, arriving at a lakeside cabin. The light flickered on, revealing a fireplace gone cold.
Moving to a cluttered bookshelf, Rosalynn pulled out a leather-bound journal and handed it to Jacob.
He glanced at it.
The leather journal clearly used to have a lock, but it was smashed recently, judging by the marks.d2
"What's this?" Jacob didn't take it, instead asking cautiously.
"A diary." Rosalynn's eyes were as cold as a winter moon, "Yvette's diary."
"Where did it come from?" Jacob was shocked, then quickly took it. Flipping through the diary, the pages were timeworn, some infested with bugs, others turned yellow.
It was in much worse condition than Ayden's diary but still readable.
"Mike dug up Yvette's grave." Rosalynn sat down, wrapping herself with a fine cashmere shawl gifted by Rose, "Sit down and take your time reading."
That’s right, Rosalynn had ordered Mike to exhume Yvette's grave.
Efficient as always, Mike hired a couple of local toughs, and under the cover of night, they pried open Yvette's resting place, which rarely saw cremations.
Mike reported that Yvette's coffin was of exceptional quality. Natalie hadn't skimped on her.
Upon opening the coffin, Mike found not just Yvette's bones but also a tin box.
