**Whispers Moving Across Ages Unite Souls Through Endless Silence by Asa River Knox**
I found myself utterly perplexed, grappling with a question that seemed to ricochet in my mind: where on earth did she muster this audacity? Didn’t she have the slightest fear that her carefully constructed facade would crumble the moment someone dared to investigate?
I fixed my gaze on Sadie, my expression deliberately blank, my voice slicing through the tension like a cold blade.
“Sadie, are you genuinely considering calling the police?”
Her response was a condescending grin, one that dripped with disdain.
“What? Are you feeling frightened now? There’s no need to involve the authorities. All you need to do is apologize profusely and grovel for my forgiveness a hundred times. Then, if you publicly admit that you impersonated my cousin, I might—just might—think about letting this slide.”
Her words hung in the air, heavy with implications.
“And let’s not forget, your impersonation of my cousin tarnishes both my father’s and CipherLux Innovations’s reputation. You owe me a million for the emotional distress you’ve caused.”
The absurdity of her demands almost made me laugh, but instead, I locked my eyes onto hers, fueled by a simmering rage.
“Sadie, you keep insisting you’re my uncle’s daughter. But everyone here knows my uncle is still single. So, tell me, where on earth did this so-called ‘daughter’ of his spring from?”
At that moment, the crowd erupted into a cacophony of disbelief, as if I had flipped a switch.
“Right! We were so caught up in the drama that we forgot—Mr. Modine isn’t even married!”
“Could it be a secret marriage? He’s always been so private. Perhaps he didn’t want his wife and daughter in the limelight.”
“That’s impossible. The paparazzi practically camp outside his house. If he had a wife and a daughter of this age, there’s no way not a single rumor would have leaked.”
“Could she be an illegitimate child? Maybe her mother can’t show her face, so they never acknowledged her publicly.”
Sadie’s complexion drained of color, her panic evident as she stammered, “No! I am not some illegitimate child! I am my dad’s daughter! Don’t listen to her nonsense!”
A faint smile played on my lips, a mix of satisfaction and defiance.
“Then how do you intend to prove you’re truly my uncle’s daughter? With that one measly photo?”
“Or—did you know my uncle couldn’t make it today, and you thought it was safe to masquerade as his daughter and exploit his name for your own gain and whatever dubious company you’re affiliated with?”
Her face grew even paler, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water, but no words emerged.
**Chapter 7**
The atmosphere thickened with suspicion as the crowd’s eyes turned toward her, each gaze a silent accusation. Cody, looking particularly anxious, stepped forward to confront her directly.
“Sadie, are you really Mr. Modine’s daughter? I’ve asked you countless times to invite your dad over, but you’ve always dodged me with one flimsy excuse after another. So tell me—did you lie to me? Are you not his daughter at all?”
For a moment, Sadie froze, the weight of his words crashing down on her. Then she rushed to defend herself.
“Of course, I’m his daughter! My dad is just incredibly busy. He’s been in Russia for inspections lately, which is why he hasn’t had the chance to come. Cody, I never lied to you! If you don’t believe me, I can show you my childhood photos!”
In a flurry, she pulled out her phone, scrolling frantically. The pictures she displayed were far from convincing—none featured her alone with my uncle. Instead, they were group shots, crowded with faces, diluting her claim.
She insisted, “These were taken when my dad and I went to donate at an orphanage. Isn’t that enough to prove I’m his daughter?”
Someone from the crowd chimed in, “Mr. Modine is known for his charitable work. I’ve heard he sponsors many underprivileged students. He has a good heart.”
“If that’s the case, then Sadie might actually be his daughter.”
With a newfound confidence, Sadie turned to me, her smile dripping with triumph.
“Phoebe, you can’t outmaneuver me. I’m signing the contract today.”
She pivoted back to Cody, her impatience palpable.
“Well? What are you waiting for? Just sign it already!”
Seizing the moment, I stepped in front of her, halting their progress.
“Not so fast.”
I offered her a thin, icy smile.
“A few photographs don’t prove anything. Go ahead—call the police. Let them investigate whether you’re the genuine heiress… or merely a fraud.”
Panic flickered across her face, her composure slipping away.
“No! You can’t call the police!”
“Why not?” I raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “Are you scared?”
Her eyes betrayed her, brimming with fear despite her attempts to maintain an air of toughness.
“Calling the police in such a high-profile situation will attract negative attention. For the sake of CipherLux Innovations’s stock price, we absolutely cannot involve the authorities!”
The tension in the air was palpable, thick with unspoken truths and the weight of impending consequences.
Conclusion
As the confrontation reached its zenith, the crowd bore witness to the unraveling of Sadie’s carefully spun web of deceit. The air was charged with a mixture of disbelief and anticipation, each onlooker aware that they were not just spectators but participants in a pivotal moment of truth. My heart raced as I stood my ground, the thrill of defiance coursing through me. Sadie’s bravado had faltered, and with it, the facade she had so meticulously crafted began to disintegrate. In that moment, I felt an unexpected surge of empowerment, a realization that the strength of my voice could challenge the lies that sought to manipulate our lives.

In the aftermath, as the crowd began to murmur and speculate, I sensed a shift not only within myself but among those around me.

I understood now that this was more than just a battle for reputation; it was a fight for authenticity in a world where appearances often masked reality.

In this moment of unity, amidst the whispers moving across ages, I knew our souls were intertwined in an unbreakable bond, forged through courage and the relentless pursuit of honesty.
