—I expected you to say that.
I stared at him.
—Caleb, what is that?
He looked at me apologetically.
—Something I did before we came.
He opened the folder.
Three sealed laboratory reports were inside.
Leonardo’s eyes narrowed.
—I obtained samples from objects belonging to Mr. Lancaster that were legally available through the Lancaster Foundation charity auction.
My mouth fell open.
Ethan whispered:
—He spent three months planning this.
Caleb continued calmly:
—I didn’t want Mom walking into this room and being called a liar.
He placed the reports on the table.
—So I had independent tests performed.
Victoria lunged forward.
Leonardo caught the folder first.
He opened the first report.
Then the second.
Then the third.
His face became completely still.
I didn’t need to see the numbers.
Caleb had already told me everything with his expression.
Leonardo lowered the papers.
—They’re mine.
Nobody answered.
