Saphire, having been surprised by what she found.... decided to do tests of authenticity and such. Her father's will was... surprising in the least. That the two of them should get so much money... and that she hadn't seen even a fraction of it yet? That was... surprising. Her Uncle, as the executor of the estate, had manipulated it quite a bit.... and she didn't like the idea of that at all. Even not remembering most of the one he'd presented to us...
And then there was the idea that her brother, if he truly was her brother, was an illegitimate child, one who was supposed to be brought into the main family. It was an injustice that her Uncle had done him, again if it was true. And though she had verified that yes, the birth certificate and will was real... it was a bit much for her to believe. Him being related to her, yes, but... an actual brother...
She'd started hiding in the library again, going over law and precept as much as she could, trying to figure out if anything had been illegally done. After all... it was unethical to keep them from their father's true will... and yet somehow Uncle had. What had been medical and psychological books was replaced with boring law books, and though she was taking better care of herself she was still obviously loosing weight and not getting nearly enough sleep...
Out of the room, hair in a pony-tail again, backpack in hand and long-sleeved shirt and pants, and she looked for a free place to sit and read... because she wanted to know the truth, and to know what she had to do next. There was no way she could let this slide any longer.... not if the last test turned out to be a pass... if her asking to see her father's will, the one on record, turned up a document matching the one she held.... then she would have to fight her uncle legally. Could she even win?
