Chapter 13 - GENEVIEVE ALREADY KNEW HER FACEA search of Genevieve’s office found a red folder labeled E.M.

My graduation.
My first apartment.
The diner.

She had monitored me for eight years.

If she enters any Bellmont property, remove her before she can speak publicly.
That order explained the staff door.
The bruises.
The word thief.
