Chapter 6 - Lily’s Trust Changes Everything
Caroline had created the trust shortly before Lily was born.
Daniel knew it existed.
He did not know its current value.
Under the original terms, Daniel served as trustee until Lily turned
twenty-five.
If Daniel died or became legally unavailable, the successor trustee was
Caroline’s sister Vanessa.
Vanessa stared at Eric.
“I didn’t know that.”
Rachel did.
A photocopy of the trust had been found in her room.
Daniel felt the pattern forming.
If Lily disappeared with Vanessa, Vanessa could potentially be
manipulated into seeking control over Lily’s trust.
But Rachel still needed leverage.
Eric searched the forged papers.
There it was.
A petition alleging Daniel was financially exploiting Lily’s assets.
Attached were records showing withdrawals from the trust.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Daniel stared.
“I never made these.”
Eric checked the account numbers.
The transactions were real.
