Chapter 8 - Caroline Left a Hidden Warning
Daniel searched Caroline’s old office.
Lily followed only after police confirmed the house was safe.
Inside a locked drawer, Daniel found a small recorder.
He had never seen it.
The battery was dead.
After charging it, Caroline’s voice filled the room.
“Daniel, if anything happens to me, look at Michael’s accounts.”
Daniel stopped breathing.
Caroline had recorded the message three days before the car accident
that killed her.
She said Michael had been moving money through vendors and blamed
accounting errors.
Rachel knew.
Caroline had confronted both of them.
Then Caroline said:
“I don’t know whether Rachel is helping him or afraid of him.”
Daniel closed his eyes.
Lily sat beside him.
“That’s Mommy?”
“Yes.”
Caroline continued.
“If Lily is ever involved, trust Vanessa before Rachel.”
Vanessa began sobbing.
Rachel had spent eighteen months convincing her that Caroline distrusted
Daniel.
