Daniel immediately tried to shut his son down, saying that his mother brainwashed him. But Noah wasn’t backing down and, when asked to explain himself, said that although he was little, there are certain things that he remembers. He remembered how some person broke into his mother’s office late at night, stole a notebook containing passwords and financial information.
When the judge asked him to point at the person, Noah pointed towards Margaret, Daniel’s sister.
The entire place was about to explode.
Margaret tried to laugh it off as an attempt to fool everyone, arguing that Noah was simply confused and a toddler would never be able to remember something like that. However, Noah stood his ground and started recollecting very specific details about that particular night which could not have been made up on the spot.
Confidence was visibly waning from the opposing side. Then, Noah rummaged through his backpack and took out something. A small silver key.
Her heart almost stopped right there and then.
That exact key was the one she reported lost years ago, when all that mess began. That key gave access to a very secure desk with extremely important documents related to the work of the whole company. The mysterious loss of that key was one of the most difficult things she had ever encountered.
Noah said he had found the key many years ago and kept it safe as children do. But Margaret’s recent attempt to steal it without being seen made him remember everything.
Daniel started sweating. Margaret was clearly afraid. What should have been a simple and clear acquittal case was turning into an absolute disaster for them.
