Chapter 7 - Marcus Lane Received Millions
Marcus ran a small construction consulting company.
At least Daniel thought it was small.
The ledger showed more than $3.6 million in payments over three years.
Rebecca checked corporate records.
Marcus’s company had no employees beyond him and an assistant.
Yet Hale Development had paid it for “site risk services” across seven
projects.
Daniel had approved none of those contracts.
Richard’s note said he discovered the payments during an internal
review.
He suspected inflated invoices.
He confronted Victoria because her electronic approval appeared on
several transactions.
Victoria denied stealing anything.
“My brother did legitimate work.”
“Show me.”
She could not.
Then Daniel found another name in the ledger.
Vantage Procurement LLC.
Rebecca searched.
The company’s registered mailing address matched a condominium Victoria
owned before marrying Daniel.
Daniel slowly looked up.
Victoria sat down.

The confrontation in the foyer had started with a mop bucket.
Now Daniel was looking at payments exceeding $5 million.
