George Sterling?Adrian wouldn’t have guessed that in a million years.Then again... maybe he should have.Still waters did run deep after all. Especially after taking the kind of hit Adrian had dealt the Trumpeters. George, the responsible son of the Sterlings, had taken a big hit to his reputation and standing in the family after the scandal.Still, Adrian would have expected that from the brash Ethan Sterling, not his brother.George Sterling wanted him dead?Interesting.Even after the confirmation at Marstead, Adrian knew there could be other explanations too.What if the perpetrator had bought the van outside Aurion?It seemed unlikely, though.
