Chapter 7 - Daniel Was Supposed to Stand There
The investor reception schedule contained a private 8:30 p.m.
conversation.
Daniel.
Michael Voss.
Two potential buyers.
Location:
West balcony.
Daniel read it twice.
Michael had created the schedule.
Lily whispered:
“The railing was for you.”
Daniel did not answer.
The possibility was terrifying.
But they still had no proof Michael removed the bolts.
Then Evan remembered why he believed the message.
The fake Lily account sent him a photograph of a silver chess piece.
Evan loved chess.
Daniel opened the image.
The piece was a tiny silver knight.
Grace looked toward Daniel’s study.
“There’s one like that on your desk.”
There was.
Except Daniel’s silver knight was missing.
Someone with access to his study had photographed it, then used it to
lure Evan.
Why involve the child?
Perhaps Evan had accidentally become useful.
If he found the loosened railing before the reception, someone could
blame Lily for the damage and have the panel replaced.
That made no sense.
Unless the goal had changed.

Then Lily whispered:
“Maybe someone realized Evan saw something.”
