A black Maybach was parked at the back entrance of the orphanage, its lights off and engine idling.
Soon, a figure emerged from the back door, hurriedly approaching and entering the car.

"By the way, have you looked into all the volunteers and the teachers at the orphanage like I asked?" "To have," the woman replied confidently.
"I've been here for about a decade.

She pulled out a document with a photograph of a striking woman—Amber Altman, the woman Jameson had groomed as Alyssa's substitute.

is a volunteer at the orphanage?" "Yes, Ms. Gillis.
Ms. Altman has been volunteering at our orphanage for over two years.
She also donates to the orphanage annually, so she's well-regarded here." The woman noticed that Sheryl had become quite agitated.
Puzzled, she asked, "Ms. Gillis, are there...
