In the hours that followed, every digital record required
authentication. Screenshots created leads, while original files, school
logs, bank records, devices, and forensic copies established context.
Rachel insisted every serious accusation remain tied to an original
record rather than wealth, anger, fear, or inherited family reputation.

family reputation.

Connecticut estate, family portraits, a finished basement, private
security, school pickup lines, estate lawyers, and winter roads toward
New York.
