Under the protection of my twin brother

Chapter 7

Emily Wilson was a rare asset in Sarah's life — a true friend who was always there for her in times of need. Since childhood, they shared all their secrets, dreams and worries. Now that the Radrigies family was facing a difficult time, Sarah felt the need for Emily's support and advice more than ever.

Sarah decided to share with her friend her suspicions and the progress of the investigation. She told her about her father's sudden death, her doubts about Evelyn and Harvey Morgan, the strange findings in Richard's office, and how Tod was involved. Emily listened very carefully, asked clarifying questions, and tried to understand the depth of the situation.

Her friend immediately expressed her willingness to help Sarah with the investigation. She knew it was dangerous, but her sense of duty and loyalty to friendship outweighed her fears. Emily suggested using her connections and skills to gather more information and look at the situation from a different angle.

The first thing Emily decided to do was study Evelyn's surroundings. She began cautiously asking mutual acquaintances and neighbors about Sarah's stepmother, trying to find out if they had any suspicions or interesting observations. Some people shared rumors and guesses that could be useful for the investigation. For example, one of the neighbors mentioned that he had seen Evelyn in the company of a man he had never met in their neighborhood before. Emily wrote down all the details and promised herself to find out who this man was and what his connection to Evelyn was.

At the same time, she began studying Harvey Morgan's business reputation. Emily knew that she had contacts in the business community who could share useful information about Morgan and his affairs. She contacted several people and soon got some interesting facts: it turned out that Harvey was known for his ambiguous business methods, and some of his transactions aroused suspicion among colleagues and partners.

Emily also suggested that Sarah analyze her own relationship with Harvey. She pointed out some points that might have escaped Sarah's attention, but looked suspicious. Her friend reminded her of the gifts, the overly insistent looks, and the ambiguous phrases Harvey had used in conversations with Sarah. This made her think again about Morgan's motives and his interest in her.

Emily also helped Sarah organize the evidence and observations she collected. Together, they compiled a detailed list of all the suspicious events, people, and facts that might have been relevant to Richard's death. This list became the basis for further investigation and helped the twins more clearly identify the search directions.

One day, Emily came to Sarah with an unusual find. She learned that shortly before Richard's death, the house had undergone some renovations that had not been planned in advance. Emily found out the name of the master who performed these works, and arranged to meet with him.

At the meeting, the master said that he found Evelyn's behavior strange during the repair. She often intervened in the process, gave unsolicited advice and seemed to follow his every step. Moreover, the master recalled that Evelyn had asked him to install some devices in Richard's office, which, according to her, were supposed to improve the security system, but in reality could serve as tracking devices.

This information was a real revelation for Sarah. She realized that Evelyn might have deeper and more dangerous plans than first thought. Sarah shared this discovery with Tod, and they decided to pay special attention to their father's office, to go through it again carefully and check for hidden devices or other evidence.

Meanwhile, Emily continued to gather information about Harvey Morgan. She found out about several of his past affairs and that he often used women to achieve his goals. This information made Sarah rethink her relationship with Morgan once again and make sure that her suspicions were not unfounded.

Despite all the dangers and risks, Emily did not back down and continued to help Sarah. She knew the truth might be bitter, but it was better to know it than to live in ignorance. Her friendship with Sarah and her desire to help her understand the dark secrets of the Radrigies family became a matter of honor for Emily.

Sarah deeply appreciated her friend's support. She knew that without Emily, it would have been much harder for her to deal with the weight of suspicion and apprehension. The closeness and sincerity of their relationship gave her the strength to go forward and fight for the truth.

However, Emily also began to feel the pressure and danger. She was aware that their investigation might not appeal to those interested in hiding the truth, and that they might be the target of threats or even more serious actions. However, her loyalty to Sarah and her thirst for justice kept her going no matter what.

With each passing day, the investigation progressed further, and Sarah and Emily found new leads and clues. They knew that new challenges and dangers were ahead of them, but they were ready for them, because they were united by a common goal and a strong friendship.

Evelyn, meanwhile, felt that her secrets might be exposed, and stepped up her precautions. She tried to control every move Sarah and Tod made, to monitor their actions and conversations, to prevent possible revelations in time. Her stepmother realized that Emily Wilson could be a serious obstacle in her path, and began to think about how to neutralize this threat.

The atmosphere in the house was becoming increasingly tense and anxious. Sarah and Tod felt that every day could bring new discoveries or new dangers. But they were prepared for this, because there was so much at stake — their future, the honor of the family, and the memory of their father.

So the investigation continued, with friendship, suspicion, mystery, and danger intertwined. Sarah and Emily walked forward, supporting each other and hoping that one day the truth would come out and they would be able to protect themselves and their family from those who wished them harm.

But so far, the path to the truth was long and thorny, and no one knew what challenges lay ahead. Sarah and Emily continued to search for answers to their questions, unaware that some secrets might be too dangerous for their lives.

Tod knew that the investigation into his father's death required not only caution, but also a clear plan of action. He decided to ask for help from Daniel Harper — an old family friend and an experienced detective who has repeatedly helped in difficult situations. Tod knew that Daniel had a sharp mind and a knack for seeing what others couldn't see.

After much thought, Tod went to Harper and explained the case to him, sharing all the evidence and observations he had gathered. Daneel listened carefully, asked clarifying questions, and analyzed the information he received. His gaze skimmed over details that Tod might have missed, and it gave the twin hope that the investigation would succeed.

Together, they began to develop a plan of action. Daniel's first advice to Todd and Sarah was to remain vigilant and continue to gather evidence, but be careful not to attract too much attention from Evelyn and Harvey Morgan. He noted that these two can be much more dangerous than it seems at first glance.

Tod and Daniel discussed the possible risks associated with the investigation. They knew that Evelyn could go to any lengths to protect her interests, and Harvey Morgan, according to the information gathered, did not shy away from questionable methods in business and personal life. This meant that the twins and their allies would have to be extremely careful.

After much discussion, Tod and Daniel identified the main lines of inquiry:

A deeper study of Richard Radrigies ' past, business connections, and possible enemies.

analyze your family's financial records to identify suspicious transactions or hidden accounts.

collect information about Harvey Morgan and his interests in the Radrigies family;

checking Richard's office for hidden devices or other evidence.

monitoring Evelyn and her contacts to see who might be behind her father's death.

Daniel suggested using his channels in the police and among private detectives to gain access to information that is normally inaccessible to civilians. Tod agreed, knowing that without professional help, it would be difficult for them to move forward with their investigation.

They also discussed the need to protect Sarah. Tod was sure that Evelyn and Morgan could try to eliminate any threat, and his sister might be in danger. Daniel advised Tod not to leave Sarah alone and to limit her contact with suspicious people as much as possible.

For several days, Tod and Daniel worked out the details of the plan, taking into account all possible risks and unforeseen circumstances. Tod knew this was going to be a tough fight, but he was prepared for it for the sake of the truth and his sister's safety.

Meanwhile, Sarah continued to work with Emily Wilson, gathering information and analyzing evidence. She shared all the new data with Tod, and she and Daniel tried to figure out how these facts could help with the investigation.

Evelyn, meanwhile, wasn't idle either. She felt that the twins were a serious threat and began to take countermeasures. Her stepmother tightened her control of the house, tried to keep track of everything Sarah and Tod did, and even hired a private investigator to monitor their movements and conversations.

Harvey Morgan wasn't left out either. He noticed that Sarah and Tod were acting suspiciously, and started his own investigation, trying to figure out what exactly the twins were trying to find out. Morgan knew that his interest in Sarah could be jeopardized if the investigation went to a new level, and he was ready to take any measures to protect his interests.

Tod and Sarah could sense the growing tension in the house, but they didn't give up. They knew that the truth was close at hand, and they were ready to go all the way to solve the mystery of their father's death. They shared not only a common goal, but also a deep love and trust for each other, which gave them the strength to move forward no matter what.

Daniel Harper, meanwhile, continued to gather information through his own channels. He learned some interesting facts about Richard's business connections and that the deceased had many enemies in the business community. This information strengthened Tod and Sarah's resolve to continue their investigation.

However, the danger increased with each passing day. Evelyn became increasingly irritable and suspicious, and Harvey Morgan began to show signs of impatience and aggression. The twins knew they needed to act quickly before their opponent took drastic action.

Tod often thought about how to protect Sarah in the event of an open conflict, and discussed it with Daniel. The detective suggested several ways to ensure the girl's safety without attracting too much attention. Tod listened carefully and memorized all the advice, because his sister's life was more important to him than anything else.

Sarah, in turn, tried to support her brother and friend by sharing her thoughts and suggestions. She knew their investigation could be dangerous, but she was willing to take risks for the truth and the future of her family.

So Tod and Sarah moved forward step by step, despite all the obstacles and dangers. They knew that the road to the truth would be long and difficult, but they were prepared for this challenge, because there was too much at stake.

The atmosphere in the house was becoming increasingly tense. Evelyn was increasingly at odds with the twins, and Harvey Morgan was beginning to show open hostility. Tod and Sarah sensed that the denouement was approaching, and they needed to solve all the secrets before the enemy struck a decisive blow.

But for now, they continued to follow the plan, hoping that their efforts would not be in vain and that the truth would eventually come to light. The twins and their allies still faced many challenges, but they were prepared for them, because they were united by a common goal and unwavering determination.
