Ryan stood outside the church, struggling to come to terms with the loss of his father, Arnold. But before he could even process his emotions, his dog, Bella, caught his attention. She was barking frantically and running towards the church. Ryan’s curiosity got the better of him as he followed Bella into the church.
As the funeral service concluded, Bella’s barks grew louder, and she jumped onto the casket, knocking over the flower arrangement. Ryan’s instincts told him something was off, and he demanded that the casket be opened. The room fell silent as the lid was lifted, revealing an empty space inside.
Ryan’s world was turned upside down. He felt a mix of shock, anger, and confusion. His mother fainted, and Ryan rushed her to the hospital. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Ryan went to the morgue to investigate further. However, he found out that his father’s file was missing, and the coroner had resigned.
Ryan’s search for answers led him to his father’s office, where he discovered that someone had deleted all the emails from his account. He met with his father’s lawyer, Mr. Stevens, who revealed that the company was in deep debt and that Arnold had been missing meetings with investors. Mr. Stevens also hinted at Arnold’s possible romantic relationship with his secretary, Miss Pearson.
Ryan’s suspicions grew, and he decided to follow Miss Pearson. He snooped around her house and found a life insurance policy for $7 million, with Miss Pearson as the sole beneficiary. Ryan took the document to the police, and they tracked Miss Pearson to the airport. However, she had already escaped on a flight to Morocco.
Undeterred, Ryan visited a collector who had a figurine that his father had been trying to buy. Ryan bought the figurine and put it up for auction, hoping to lure his father out of hiding. The plan worked, and Arnold showed up at the auction, bidding $1 million for the figurine. Ryan confronted his father, and Detective Bradshaw arrested him.
As it turned out, Arnold had faked his own death to start a new life with Miss Pearson. He had bribed the coroner and taken out a huge life insurance policy. Ryan was devastated by his father’s selfish actions, but he was relieved that the truth had finally come out. Arnold was taken away, and Ryan hoped that justice would be served.
