Chapter 8 - HANNAH WAS NOT JUST AN ARCHITECTArthur asked Hannah:
“How did you find the chamber?”
She hesitated.
Then admitted something.
Her name really was Hannah Pierce.
But she had not been hired randomly.
Her father, Michael Pierce, had been Arthur Sr.’s private facilities manager.
Before dying, he left Hannah a set of old mansion plans.
One section was marked:
KEEP ACCESSIBLE — FAMILY ARCHIVE ROUTE
Hannah noticed recent renovation drawings had erased that passage.
She became curious.
Then she heard tapping.
At first she thought pipes.
Then Morse-like repetition.
Three taps.
Pause.
Three taps.
Pause.
Julian had been striking the ventilation grille whenever he heard workers.
Hannah followed the sound.
That was why she ran for the sledgehammer.
She already suspected someone was inside.
And Victoria knew Hannah’s father had possessed old plans.

That was why Victoria had tried repeatedly to have her removed from the renovation project.
Another piece of the conspiracy.
