Chapter 3: The Hidden Confession
Three days later, the investigation uncovered another secret.
The late family patriarch had never agreed to separate the twins.
Before his death, he secretly recorded a video confession.
The family attorney played it before both sisters.
The old man's voice filled the room.
"If you're watching this...
Then I failed to protect both of my daughters."
He looked exhausted.
"Your grandmother believed our family's reputation mattered more than blood."
"I fought her."
"I lost."
"I left the pocket watch with Evelyn because I hoped one day she'd find her way home."
Both sisters broke into tears.
Then came the final revelation.
The patriarch had rewritten his will shortly before his death.
Half of everything legally belonged to Evelyn.
Not because she was owed money...
But because she deserved to be recognized as his daughter.
