Chapter 16 - The Missing SisterThe child was named Mia.
She was seven years old.
She lived with an ordinary family who had no idea about the Reed trust.
Agents approached carefully.
Mia's adoptive parents were shocked.
The DNA test confirmed it.
Mia was Lily's twin sister.
Emma collapsed when she saw her.
Mia stared at the woman standing before her.
“Are you my mother?”
Emma could barely answer.
“Yes.”
Mia looked at Lily.
“Are you my sister?”
Lily smiled.
“Yes.”
The two girls stared at one another.
Then they hugged.
Ethan turned away.
He could not hide his tears.
Hannah watched them.
The family had spent years trying to protect one child.
Now they had found the second.
But the discovery created another problem.
Mia's existence changed the trust.
The two girls were equal heirs.
Victor had known.
That was why he had tried to control the records.
The investigator explained that the Reed company would be divided between the twins.
Neither child would control it alone.
Victor's plan had collapsed.
But one question remained.
Who had removed Mia from the hospital?
They found the answer in the final pages of Daniel's journal.
The lawyer had taken her.
Not to hurt her.
To hide her from Victor.
He had secretly placed her with an adoptive family.
Daniel had known.
Margaret had known.
Even Emma had suspected.
But nobody had been able to find her.
Ethan looked at his father.
“You knew my daughter was alive.”
Daniel nodded.
“I was afraid finding her would expose Lily.”
Ethan shook his head.
“We lost seven years.”
Daniel accepted it.
“I know.”
Mia took Lily's hand.
The twins stood together.
For the first time, the family was complete.
Then the investigator entered.
“We have a problem.”

Everyone turned.
“Victor escaped custody.”
