Evelyn took another sip of her coffee.

“Even if it meant taking the fall for itheir /iother daughter?” fn313e ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? Find★Novel/fn313e

Evelyn’s eyes widen in shock. What kinda of family would trade on daughter for another!

“Gege…that’s a stre-”

“I had one of my iP.I.’s /ilook into the Taylorsi. /iiI /ididn’t even iknow /iithey /iiHAD /itwo daughters, up until that ident…I thought the only idaughter /iiwas /iithe /iVanessa girl.”

Georgia pulled out another envelop.

“iWhat’s /iithis/ii?/i”

Evelyn scanned the documents. The records showed proof of the hospital’s error that cause the two baby girls to be switched at birth. Evelyn could hardly believe what she was reading.

“iThey /iiwere /iiswitched /iiat /iibirth/ii!! /iiI /iidon’t /iibelieve/ii…/i”

“iYeah/ii…/iand iJosie’s /iiparents…/ithe ones ithat /iiraised /iiher /iiup /iiuntil /iishe /iiwas /iieight/ii…/iiunfortunately /iithey /iidied /iiin /iithat /iine /icrash from 2011. Looks like ithe /iiTaylors /iifavored /iithe /iione /iithey /iiraised /iover itheir /iibiological /iidaughter/ii./ii” /i

Evelyn took a swig of water, to shocked to speak. After sitting in silence for a few moments, she looked at Georgia with weary eyes.

“iHow /iido /iiyou /iiknow /iishe /iiwasn’t /iidriving/ii? /iiI /iimean /iithis /iijust /iiproves-/i”

Georgia slid over herst piece of evidence. At the time of the ident, Josie was at the hospital with her grandmother. Evelyn’s eyes widen more as she read the report along with security camera photos of Josie leaving Memorial Hospital.

i“/iiI /iidon’t /iunderstandi…/iiwhy /iiwould /iithey /ido ithis /iito /iheri?/ii” /i

Georgia slightly shook her head.

“iThey /iididn’t /iitheir /iiadoptive /iidaughter /iito /iigo /iito /iijail/i. iI’m /iinot /iisure /iiwhy /iiJosie /iagreed ito /iiit/ii…/iibut /iiI /iidid /iilearn /iithe /iigrandmother /iiwas /iisick/ii. /iiStage /iithree /icancer…imy /iiguess/i…ithey /iioffered /ito ihelp /iher iin /iiexchange /iifor /iiJosie /iigoing /iito /iiprison /iiin /iice /iiof /iiVanessa/ii./ii” /i

Tears began to fall from Evelyn’s eyes. How could a family do something this horrible to their own daughter. Evenly wasn’t sure exactly what happened to Josie during the four years she was at the state prison, but after going over her report, she’d concluded the girl was obviously being abused. To learn she shouldn’t have even been there and went through something that horrific, her eyes darkened as bshe /bstared at a high school photo of Josie. So much life was in those beautiful eyes, and they destroyed it. Turning them into hollow shells of her former self.

Georgia spoke next.

i“/iiSo/ii…./iiI /iiwas /iithinking /iiabout /iicalling /iiher /ito my ioffice /iiand /iletting her iknow /iiwhat /iI ifound /iout. I in /ion itaking /iithis /iito /i1PPbi./i/b”

Evelyn’s eyes immediately darted up in panic.

i“/iGege…I don’t think that’s a good idea!i” /i

:

“What!! iSurely /iyou don’t think iI’m /igoing to istay /iiquiet /iiabout /iithis/ii! /iiShe /ideserves justice and-i” /i

i“/iI’m not isaying /iiI /idon’t iagree/i! I’m isaying/i….I don’t ithink /iiyou /iishould /iiambush /iiher/ii! /iiWe /idon’t know ithe /iifull /icircumstances of everything.”

Evelyn took a deep breath. This situation was moreplicated than Georgia was giving credit for.

“iGege/i….the iTaylors /iare a ipowerful /ifamily. So we ihave /ito make sure we don’t end up putting iher /iiin /imore danger. You isaid /ishe requested to be moved from ithat /iihome /iibecause /iishe /iiwas /iconcerned about her livelihood.i” /i

Georgia’s face panicked, she had been so angry about what happened to Josie that she hadn’t considered the possible fallout.

i“/iSo….ithen /iiwhat /iiDO /iwe ido/ii?/i”

“iLet /iime /iitalk /iito /iiher /iifirst/i.”

That night, Georgia and Evelyn came up with a n of action to help Josie clear her name and bring down the Taylorsb. /b

**

As Dr. Woods was about to answer Josie’s question, Josie noticed a picture on Dr. Woods desk. Before she realized it, she was pointing at the young man in the photo.

i“/iiI /iiknew /iI isaw /iihim /iibefore/ii! /iiWho /iis he??”

Puzzled, Evelyn looked at the photo.

“iThat’s /iimy nephew /iiAdam /iiRichardson/ii, /iihe’s /iian /iiattorney /iifor /iione /iiof /iithe /iirgest /iifirms /iiin /iiBridgeton/i.”
