Billionaire Visits His Abandoned Home, But Shocked to See His Dead Wife Living There With His Son.

Lucas studied him for a long moment. Then he said.

“My mom says promises are easy to make but hard to keep.”

“Your mom is very smart,”

Nathan said.

“But I’m going to keep this promise, even if it’s hard.”

Lucas didn’t say anything else. He just turned and went back upstairs to his room. Nathan stood up and looked at Evelyn. She was still sitting on the stairs looking exhausted and scared.

“He’s right to be angry,”

Evelyn said quietly.

“I teach him to tell the truth, and then I lie right in front of him.”

“You did what you had to do,”

Nathan said.

“To protect him.”

“Did I?”

Evelyn asked.

“Or did I just make things worse? Your mother is going to find out the police didn’t arrest me. She’s going to call them again. Or she’ll come here herself.”

“Then we fight back,”

Nathan said firmly.

“With what?”

Evelyn asked hopelessly.

“We have nothing, Nathan. No proof. No evidence. Just our word against hers. And who are people going to believe? A rich, powerful woman or a poor single mom who’s been squatting in an abandoned house?”

Before Nathan could answer, his phone rang. He looked at the screen. It was his father, Richard.

“Dad,”

Nathan answered.

“Did you get the documents?”

“I did,”

Richard said. His voice sounded strange. Excited, but also worried.

“Nathan, I found something. Something big.”

“What?”

Nathan asked.

“I need you to come to my house,”

Richard said.

“Right now. Both of you. Bring Evelyn. You need to see this in person.”

“What did you find?”

Nathan asked again.

“Evidence,”

Richard said.

“Real solid evidence that your mother faked Evelyn’s death. And not just evidence. I found the name of one of the men she hired. He’s willing to talk.”

Nathan’s heart started racing.

“What? How did you.”

“Just come to my house,”

Richard interrupted.

“I’ll explain everything when you get here. But Nathan, we can prove it. We can prove what she did.”

Nathan looked at Evelyn.

“Dad says he found evidence. Real evidence.”

Evelyn’s eyes went wide.

“Are you serious?”

“Come now,”

Richard said.

“Before your mother figures out what we’re doing.”

Nathan hung up and grabbed Evelyn’s hand.

“Come on,”

he said.

“This might be our chance. Our only chance.”
