Chapter 9 - The House Wasn’t Rachel’s Target
David assumed the mansion was the prize.
Rebecca disagreed.
The house was valuable, but Rachel had signed a prenuptial agreement.
Then she found something else.
David’s late wife, Emily, had created a trust for Lily.
It held a 22 percent interest in Mercer Design Group, the company David
founded.
David served as trustee until Lily turned twenty-five.
If David became legally incapacitated or unavailable for an extended
period, the trust document named a temporary independent trustee.
Not Rachel.
So why remove Lily?
Rebecca studied the incident log.
Because Rachel’s allegations were not aimed only at divorce.
They were designed to challenge David’s fitness as trustee.
If a court removed him, the company shares could become vulnerable
during a pending acquisition.
David’s company was currently negotiating a sale.
Rachel knew.
And she had repeatedly urged him to accept the offer.
David suddenly remembered the buyer’s adviser.
Thomas Keller.
Same last name as Susan.
