Chapter 8: The Hidden Will
Two days later, Finnley officially presented the new will through Leonard Hale.
The court accepted the filing, which immediately put pressure on Reagan and Carter. The old will they had used after Camden’s death was now under review.

Finnley stayed quiet for a moment.
“Then I guess we’ll see what the evidence says,” he said before hanging up.
