The Inheritance Email Went to Everyone

Diana. Did you get that email from Dad's lawyer just now?? Please tell me you're the only one who got it

I KNOW. I've been trying to call Hendricks's office for the last 20 minutes. No answer.

That name in the email. "Secondary beneficiary." Do you know who that is??

Ok, so I wasn't going to say anything, but I've been in this chat this whole time reading everything.

Priya, oh god.

I know who Lena Vasquez is.

She's Dad's daughter. From before he married Mum.

Our half-sister, basically.

That is not possible.

Because Dad told me. About three years ago. He made me promise not to say anything.

I've been carrying this for THREE years, Diana.

Ok, I need a minute.

I'm not going quiet. I'm just — how much of the estate is she getting?

Diana, I'm not a monster, I'm just asking.

The email says 20%. The rest is split between us and Mum equally.

And Mum doesn't know. She's on that email list and she doesn't know.

Yes. GO. Right now.

She's not picking up, is she?

She opened it. The email shows as read. 11:31.

Priya, why are you monitoring the read receipts on Mum's email?

Because I'm anxious, Marcus, that's why.

I can't, I'm in Edinburgh until Thursday.

I'll come with you, Diana. I should be the one to explain. It was my secret to keep and I didn't keep it well enough.

Wait. Before you go — does Lena know about us? Does she know who we are?

She knows everything. Dad told her about all of us. She even asked about us apparently. She just... never pushed to meet because she didn't want to cause problems.

She was protecting us.

Yeah.

How is she? Tell me everything.

...she what?

She wasn't even angry with me for keeping the secret. She hugged me. I nearly lost it completely.

So we were the last ones to know. The three of us. Classic.

I need a moment with that sentence, actually.

Hendricks just sent a follow-up. A bit late, mate.

"disregard the CC list" lmaooo

Maybe some mistakes fix things.

Ok. So what do we do next? Do we... contact Lena ourselves?

Agreed.

Agreed. And Diana... thank you for driving. Thank you for not being angry at me for keeping this.

I'll be there Saturday. Tell her I love her.
