Chapter 2: The Forgotten Twenty Minutes
Emily remembered exactly when it happened.
She had received an urgent call from the gardener asking for help after a heavy stone planter collapsed.
She rushed outside.
Her handbag remained unattended in the staff lounge for nearly twenty minutes.
Only four people had access to that room.
Emily.
The housekeeper.
Victoria's nephew, Ethan.
And Ethan's girlfriend, Chloe.
When detectives checked the mansion's security cameras, they found something unexpected.
The camera covering the staff hallway had gone offline.
Exactly twenty-two minutes.
The outage had been reported as a "technical error."
Emily quietly asked,
May you like
"Who requested the maintenance?"
No one answered.
