The words on the paper seemed to suck every ounce of air from the room instantly
Jude looked at the paper as if his eyes were refusing to process what they were seeing
"No….."
Violet also looked very shocked
"But those are father's initials, right?"
"Hmmmn...", Jude replied silently
Scarlett remained silent because the paper raised far more questions than it answered
"What does my father know that they needed to keep him quiet?", she murmured beneath her breath
Jude snatched the paper from Scarlett's hand
"Handwriting can be easily forged", he said shakily
Nobody replied as they were still shocked
"It can be forged", he said loudly as he looked across from Scarlett to Violet
Violet slowly looked at him
"Jude..."
He pointed the paper at her
"This doesn't prove anything because it can be forged", he said slowly
