Chapter 53: Chapter 53

After Trisha had signed the papers in Mr. Winfield's office to transfer the Drake property, Nick decided there was no harm in asking a few questions with her present.

"Mr. Winfield, I was wondering if you could tell us anything about Miss Drake?" Nick glanced at Trisha, hoping she'd take the hint. "Trisha's having a hard time understanding Miss Drake's wishes."

The attorney took a seat behind his desk and removed his glasses. "I thought a lot about this since you were here last. Lexie had no family, so that's the obvious reason. But I remember a lunch meeting she and I had once long ago." He sat forward in his chair as if about to divulge a government secret. "I don't see the harm in telling you, since she's gone now."

Nick and Trisha exchanged a glance while the attorney shuffled through his file cabinet. Eventually, he pulled out a photo and handed it to her.
