Sophie's eyes snapped to the door of the study as she heard those words.

She wanted to say, "No, it's impossible."

She had hidden there. How could anyone possibly find her?

Gabriel commanded, "Bring it up."

Even Gabriel, usually composed, showed a hint of urgency in his voice. After all, that thing was crucial to the survival of the Duke's estate. If it were truly lost, the estate would be finished,

But the guard kneeling there looked conflicted, hesitating before speaking, "We found the ledger, but... it's been burned"

"What?"

"Burned?"

Both Gabriel and Sophie's expressions shifted in disbelief, their voices rising in unison.

"Impossible. This can't be happening."

Sophie, ignoring the pain in her body, scrambled to her feet and rushed toward the guard, shouting, "Where was it burned? Where?"

The guard quickly replied, "It was burned outside Lord Matthew's room, and to destroy the evidence, they set fire to the room as well."

Matthew gasped, "What?"

Now, it was Matthew's turn to go pale.

Soon, the entire Stonor family had moved from the study to Matthew's courtyard.

Upon arrival, they were met with a horrifying sight. It wasn't clear who had started the fire, but within such a short time, Matthew's room had almost completely burned down.

The flames were raging fiercely, and it was impossible to get close enough to put them out.
