The Unseen Hand: Matriarch of the Montgomery Legacy

I'm Evelyn Montgomery, the quiet apprentice in my family's art restoration studio.

But I also secretly wield unchecked power as the sole trustee of the Montgomery Heritage Fund.

My grandmother taught me to let them underestimate me; it's their first mistake.

When Ashley Jenkins, a social climber obsessed with my grandnephew Connor, conspicuously excluded me from the gala committee, I simply smiled.

Her sweet message about "curating" truly dedicated members was a clear jab.

Then her casual cruelty turned vicious.

She kicked my beloved Norwegian Forest cat, Duke, then brutally killed him.
