Chapter 12 - THE SECRET BENEATH ST. BRIDGET'S

The investigation into Lily's father's disappearance uncovered troubling information.
He had accumulated debts.
Some involved companies connected to criminal networks.
He'd abandoned Lily partly to avoid creditors.
Luca recognized one of the names.
A former associate.
A man he'd removed from his organization years earlier.
Luca contacted his attorney.
He refused to handle the matter through intimidation.
Instead, he helped Nora work with legal professionals to protect Lily's interests.
The investigation revealed that Lily's father had attempted to misuse funds intended for her care.
The matter was referred to the appropriate authorities.
Nora sat beside Luca after meeting with the attorney.
“Thank you.”
He shook his head.
“You don't owe me gratitude for helping protect a child.”
She looked at him.
“Still.”
May you like
He smiled faintly.
“Then you're welcome.”
