The Secret

Keira hurriedly stopped her. "Don't say anything. Don't go against your professional ethics."

Holly paused.

Then she coughed to cover up her embarrassment. "Actually, it was okay to tell you about the recording. It had nothing to do with the case. I was just…"

She fell silent before finally admitting it. "I just wanted to make things difficult for you."

Keira didn't know what to say.

She rubbed her brow in resignation. "Well, then tell me."

Holly looked embarrassed. Her face was still serious as she spoke. "The last words were: dear niece, Connor knows the secret too. Please make sure his tuition fee is covered."

"..."

The room was quiet for a while.

Keira frowned. Even though she had guessed that Finley wouldn't leave a message about any secrets and that Connor surely knew something, she still found the message strange.

She had gone to Finley intending to pay five million to buy the secret.
