"Ethan just sent me the mall's surveillance footage. He said someone pushed Mom down the escalator on purpose."
Laura froze for a moment, a sudden chill hardening her delicate features. "Mom's at her age… To fall from such a high escalator… I can't believe someone could actually go through with it."
"Let's go look at the surveillance footage."
"Okay."
The two of them went to Aiden Shaw's private lounge, opened his laptop, and pulled up the video from his email.
Laura studied the girl on the screen. She had shoulder-length blonde hair, heavy smoky eye makeup, and thick, straight bangs that covered her eyebrows.
It was clearly a deliberate disguise, meant to prevent anyone from recognizing her.
Laura rested a slender, pale finger on her chin. 'This girl looks a little familiar, but I can't quite place her.'
"You know her?"
Aiden Shaw pulled Laura onto his lap, his long arms wrapping around her in an embrace.
