Zeke left the moment he was satisfied that Ava was, in fact, alive, breathing, and not about to commit homicide out of sheer stress. He delivered one last suspicious glance—equal parts concern and this family is exhausting—before disappearing like a man who knew better than to stay any longer.
Not even ten minutes later, Ava was already in the car with Adelle, heading straight to the bank with the grim determination of someone about to uncover financial crimes, identity theft, or—worst of all—paperwork.
True to Zeke's instincts, which had unfortunately been honed by years of Eva-related chaos, Eva had opened a new bank account under Ava's name. No clear purpose. No explanation. Just vibes. Extremely suspicious vibes.
The bank officer smiled politely while explaining it, unaware that Ava was mentally drafting at least seven conspiracy theories and three criminal case files in her head.
Ava didn't cancel the account. Oh no. That would've been too merciful.
