Clara knew about the combination?
Margaret was silent.
—No.
—Thank you.
For the first time, Clara felt that perhaps there was a possibility.
But then the family’s lawyer presented a new document.
—Your Honor, we found this in the defendant’s room.
It was a photograph of the jewel.
Clara felt her heart stop.
—That’s not mine.
—The photograph was found among his belongings.
—I had never seen her!
Margaret shook her head.
—Clara, why are you doing this?
Those words almost broke her.
The judge looked at the document.
—Do
you have any explanation?
Clara opened her mouth.
I didn’t know what to say.
Then something unexpected happened.
A scream was heard from the back of the room.
—No!
Everyone turned around.
The door opened.
A babysitter showed up trying to stop someone.
—Idan, come back here!
But the boy ran in.
He was just a few years old.
