"We have lost a quarter of a billion dollars, and we need to get to the bottom of this.""I agree," another family member spoke up. "We need to investigate every possibility, including the involvement of outsiders and our own employees."Nicholas scoffed. "Investigate all you want, but Harry is not to be touched.

"What in the world just happened? Who could have done this?"Yumi coughed and replied, her voice hoarse. "Could it be... Mrs. Abigail's killer?"Nicholas nodded, his expression determined.
