Chapter 9 - Michael Trent Had Followed Caroline
Police reopened questions surrounding Caroline’s crash.
The original investigation found no mechanical defect and no evidence of
another vehicle striking hers.
But newly recovered toll-camera footage showed Michael’s SUV traveling
behind Caroline shortly before the crash.
That alone proved nothing.
Then investigators found messages.
Caroline: I know what you took.
Michael: You’re making this bigger than it is.
Caroline: I’m telling Daniel tomorrow.
Michael: Don’t.
Rachel had been copied on the final message.
Daniel stared at her.
“You knew.”
Rachel cried.
“I knew they were fighting.”
“Did you know why?”
She did not answer.
Vanessa looked sick.
Rachel had told her Caroline died believing Daniel was stealing from
Lily.
The opposite appeared closer to the truth.
Caroline had been investigating Michael.
And Rachel had known.
Daniel did not accuse anyone of causing the crash.

The evidence was not there yet.
But the financial scheme clearly began before Caroline died.
