Chapter 7 - Claire's Envelope The envelope was hidden inside a recipe box.
Claire hated cooking.
That was precisely why Margaret had never searched there.
Daniel opened it.
Bank transfers.
Emails.
Copies of documents.
And a handwritten letter.
Daniel,
If you're reading this, something happened before I found the courage to tell you.
Your mother has been pressuring me since Noah was born.
Your father told me Noah was protected by a trust.
Margaret wants those shares.
She offered me money to leave.
I refused.
Then she threatened me.
Daniel stopped reading.
His vision blurred.
Claire continued.
If she ever makes you doubt me, test Noah.
Not because Noah needs to prove he is yours.
Because you may need proof of what she was willing to do.
Daniel pressed the letter against his chest.
Claire had known.
She had prepared for the day he would need the truth.
Then Daniel found the financial records.
The money had flowed through a company called Meriton Consulting.
And its owner was Victor Lang.
A former Carter Global accountant.
When Daniel called him, Victor refused to talk.
Until Samuel subpoenaed him.
Then Victor made one demand.
May you like
Immunity.
Because Margaret's secrets were much bigger than a fake DNA test.
