When Clara's father saw her , he froze for a moment , a complex mix of emotions flashing in his eyes . " You're … what are you doing here ? It's been so many years … " But Clara's mother ignored him , her eyes sweeping over the others . These people were the ones who had , step by step , driven Clara to her death . How could she not hate them ? 1/3 Jessica opened Clara's will . " I am Jessica , Clara's attorney . Clara passed away on November 24th at , due to organ failure from late - stage brain cancer . " " Before her death , Clara instructed me to draft three revocation agreements . These three agreements all came into effect upon her passing . " As Jessica finished speaking , Hailey froze , her heart sinking like a stone . Before she could react , Jessica's sharp , cold eyes fixed on her . " Clara's will mentions a publishing rights transfer agreement , a literary studio ownership agreement , and a personal asset transfer agreement . " " All three agreements were signed under duress , and while the principal , my client , was not of sound mind . They were signed against her true wishes . " " According to the law , all three were rendered null and void upon the principal's death . " " Therefore , the three agreements that were to transfer assets to Hailey are all null and void ! " Hailey shot up from her seat . " Why ?! " Her shriek was so piercing that Clara's family turned to stare at her . Realizing her outburst , Hailey forced herself to suppress her fury and squeezed out a smile . " I mean , Dad specifically approved those agreements , for Clara to transfer them to me . " " For her to just say they're invalid … isn't that a slap in the face to Dad ? " Hailey's voice trailed off as she noticed Jessica was watching her with a cold smirk . Clara's mother slowly stood and walked to the projector . ww " My daughter's last wish was for us to investigate all of Hailey's actions . Over the past seven days , we have found a great deal . N " And that , Hailey , is why I waited a full week to do this . ' Clara's father looked up , confused . " " Found what ? Does Clara's death have something to do with Hailey ? " " But didn't Clara die of brain cancer ? " Jessica , her face etched with disgust , looked at Hailey and switched on the projector she had prepared . " This is all the evidence we have gathered regarding Hailey . If you're interested , you may watch carefully . " Hailey stood rooted to the spot , her face ashen , unsure how to react . The hospital's security footage began to play on the screen . The video clearly showed Hailey stealing Zane's credentials and blackmailing the lab technician . Next came an internal investigation report , detailing the entire process of how she'd swapped the pathology reports . And a video testimony from the coerced lab technician . The evidence laid out an irrefutable timeline of how Hailey had stolen Zane's credentials , threatened his subordinate , and swapped the reports . 2/3 It also laid bare her motive : she was desperate to pay off massive gambling debts . Clara's father stared at the mountain of irrefutable evidence on the screen , tears streaming down his face Her brother , Ethan , collapsed into his chair , his face the color of ash .
