The Unexpected Heir Smartness

"I don't know what's wrong with Mrs. Thompson," she said, her voice tinged with frustration. "She's been behaving weirdly. First, she was nice to me, and then she left with Fiona, looking like the weight of the world was on her shoulders."Charlie scoffed, his eyes rolling in disbelief. "Nice to you?" he repeated, his tone incredulous. "That's a first. What did you do, Alice, cast a spell on her or something?" he teased, trying to lighten the mood.But Alice just shook her head, her expression unchanging. "I'm serious, Charlie.

"Yes, we found something at the scene where Josephine's body was discovered. The person seems to have been wearing a bracelet, which got broken and was left behind. Maybe they forgot it or didn't bother to take it with them."Charlie's eyes widened, her interest piqued. "That's quite interesting," he said, his voice laced with curiosity. "Can you tell us more?"Detective George's eyes sparkled with a hin
The Unexpected Heir Action
As they arrived at the station, Detective George led them to a secure room where the evidence was stored. "Hold on, Mr. Charlie," he said, his hand reaching for the key in his pocket. He inserted it into the padlock, and the door creaked open. With gloved hands, he carefully retrieved a small box from the shelf, his movements precise and deliberate.He approached the table, the box held gingerly in his hand, and opened the lid with a gentle touch.

The Unexpected Heir Justice
Charlie's eyes widened in disbelief, his face red with anger. "How was that possible? How did he find out so quick?" he demanded, his voice rising.Leo chuckled, a sly grin spreading across his face. "I think one of the thugs consulted him quickly, and now he's nowhere to be found. Everybody's asking questions, and the Thompsons are getting a bad name all over social media."Charlie's eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock. He took off like a shot, rushing outside without another word.Alice's face was etched with worry, her eyes darting back and forth between Leo and Charlie's retreating figure. "He needs me right now, I want to be there for him.
