The Million-Dollar Heart

The butler supported Yorick, urging him to calm down, emphasizing that his well-being was paramount.

"Isn't there any way to prove Sasha's innocence?" Yorick asked, his voice heavy with concern.

Sasha, head bowed, forced a composed facade. "The voice in the recording isn't Al-generated. Instead, they prerecorded my voice and manipulated it to fabricate evidence. No matter how you investigate, it'll still point back to me."

Yorick narrowed his eyes. "Sasha, you mentioned they prerecorded your voice. How did they manage to capture it?"

After getting the full story from Sasha and Arthur, Yorick cursed under his breath. "The Wright family is a snake pit, and Alyssa is the worst of them! Not even as a gift to the Linklaters would she be welcomed, yet she dares to dream of marrying Arthur!"

"Regardless, this scandal tarnishes the Linklater name. In my opinion, we should contact Hunter and have Alyssa personally debunk the fake recording," suggested Hailey Linklater, her face a mask of thunder. Her gaze was sharp as she looked at Sasha. "Your carelessness has put our family's reputation at risk!"

Arthur stepped in front of Sasha, his reply icy. "If you've got nothing helpful to say, then don't say anything at all. It's not like Sasha wanted this. She was framed, and as her family, we should be supporting her, not criticizing."

Hailey scoffed, her expression darkening.

Vivienne leaned back, sipping her milk, her voice clear and melodic. "Aunt, there's no need to be so upset. This situation doesn't warrant Grandpa's personal involvement in seeking Hunter's help." Yorick's eyes brightened at Vivienne's words.

He wasn't opposed to asking Hunter for a favor.

But with Sasha trapped in this predicament, likely due to Alyssa Wright's scheming, how could he bring himself to ask?

Vivienne continued, "I've carefully reviewed the surveillance footage. Alyssa passed the initial security check at the Linklater estate without issue, but the footage inside was tampered with and deleted. They thought they were being clever."

"It means there's a mole within the Linklaters, someone who helped Alyssa by slipping her the recording device."

After all, I won't let anyone who harms my mother get away with it." Her voice grew sharp with the last words, sending shivers down the spines of the servants.
