Chapter 6 - THE SISTER'S CONFESSION
Against Marcus’s advice, I agreed to let the FBI bring Rachel in. She was brought to the federal building looking nothing like the entitled, demanding woman from yesterday. Her designer clothes were rumpled, her makeup was smeared, and she was shaking uncontrollably.
When she saw me, she broke down. "Emily... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything."
The mob had realized their money was frozen and the ledgers were missing. They had gone to Rachel's apartment looking for Ryan, tearing the place apart. Terrified, she had nowhere else to turn.

Under the pressure of federal agents, the dark, high-stakes family secrets spilled out. Ryan had been involved with the syndicate for years. Worse, Rachel confessed that Ryan had stolen their parents' entire estate to cover an early deficit with the mob, paying Rachel a "monthly allowance" to keep her quiet and complicit. The handbag, the money, the credit cards—it was all guilt money from a stolen inheritance.
"I'll testify," Rachel sobbed, looking at the agents. "I'll tell you everything he did. Just keep me safe."
