"Hello girls. Once again, please accept my condolences. This is a great loss, both for you and for us. I promise you, the murderer will be found and punished to the fullest extent of the law," the lawyer and friend of the Diaz family began to speak.
"Thank you, Mr. Palmers. I take it you didn't gather us here just to offer your condolences?"
"Yes, you're absolutely right, Ms. Kelly. You do realize that your parents didn't have time to make a will, don't you?"
"Of course, Mr. Palmers."
"That's why the entire inheritance, including the factory, goes to you, Kelly."
"Why me?"
" You're twenty years older than Penelope. You're wiser than she is. She couldn't run the plant until she was of age anyway. I think Penelope is of the same opinion."
"Penelope, do you mind?"Mr. Palmers asked her.
She didn't understand everything now, and she didn't want to understand. How could one speak of such things now? After all, it hadn't been long since they'd been buried. And the murderer still hasn't been founher.
"I don't think you're talking about that at all. I don't care which one of us inherits all of our dead parents property and money. The main thing now is to find the creep who took my parents' lives. I will personally shoot him until there is not a living thing left on him and his whole body is turned into a sieve."
"Of course, Penelope, the murderer will be punished."
" I'll have peace of mind when I see the results of the investigation in person."
" Pen, Mr. Palmers isn't an investigator. You can't reproach him for anything."
"I'm not, Kelly. Goodbye, Mr. Palmers" Pen said goodbye and left the office.
But the conversation between Palmers and Kelly went on.
"Kelly, you realize what a big responsibility this is, don't you? It wasn't an easy decision for the stockholders of the plant."
"I understand that."
