Chapter 6 - The Envelope Was Sent to Daniel
Daniel blocked Victoria’s path.
“Who did you mail it to?”
Evelyn answered:
“You.”
Not the house.
Daniel’s attorney.
Rebecca Sloan.
Richard had written Rebecca’s office address on the envelope.
Daniel called immediately.
Rebecca confirmed a courier package had arrived twenty minutes earlier.
She had not opened it.
Daniel told her to preserve it.
Victoria became furious.
“This is insane.”
“What’s in the envelope?”
“I don’t know.”
Daniel looked at her.
“Then why are you scared?”

Anna finally stood.
“No. You’ve been doing that yourself.”
Daniel had never heard his sister speak to Victoria that way.
Rebecca arrived an hour later.
Inside Richard’s envelope were photocopies of ledger pages and a
handwritten note.

lying.
Daniel read the sentence twice.
The ledger tracked payments from Hale Development Group.
