Jeffrey remembered that Rebecca had tucked the Deed of Property Transfer beneath the pillow in the master bedroom. He’d just taken a quick look and put it right back, even reminding Mary Shaw not to mess with anything in there when changing the sheets.

“Did they even care if they pushed things too far and Amelia ended up dead?” Jeffrey narrowed his eyes, a dark look passing over his face.

“Her life or death never mattered to them,” Jack replied, leaning back in his chair, voice flat. “As long as Richard Jensen was still breathing, Rebecca was out of the running for first heir–she didn’t pose any threat to them.”

Jeffrey just stayed silent.

His silence said it all.

Not long after they finished talking, Daniel showed up at the door.

Seeing Jack standing there with his collar open in Jeffrey’s chilly hospital room, Daniel strode in, greeted
