"Tell me everything," he commanded, his voice leaving no room for hesitation. "Everything you've discovered."
Madam Beckett swallowed hard, her face etched with the gravity of what she was about to reveal. "Vincent and Yves conspired together to murder Zach Griffin," she began, the words heavy and somber. "Madam Clark, trusting Vincent, had ordered him to move Zach Griffin out of the city for his protection. But Vincent betrayed her, delivering Zach directly into Yves' hands. Yves then took Zach back to their hometown in Arizona... and killed him."
Clyde's heart pounded in his chest, each word from Madam Beckett hitting him like a sledgehammer.
The betrayal, the cold-blooded murder—it was almost too much to process.
Clyde's blue eyes widened in sheer disbelief, the revelation striking him with a force that left him momentarily paralyzed.
