Chapter 13 - Peter’s Ledger Changes the Case

Investigators and civil attorneys followed the money.
Silver Pine Wellness had received transfers tied to household accounts.
Peter maintained a private spreadsheet.
It listed jewelry purchases, event expenses, and transfers labeled V.
It also contained a projected line:
CUSTODY / CONTROL PHASE.
That phrase did not prove every motive by itself.
But combined with the draft petition, coaching notes, financial records,
and camera evidence, it became significant.
Vanessa’s attorneys argued Peter manipulated her.
Peter’s attorneys argued Vanessa directed him.
Appropriate authorities handled the allegations.
Nathan did not use his company to threaten anyone.
He provided records.
Preserved devices.
Followed counsel.
The girls were not made to testify publicly about every painful detail.
Their wellbeing mattered more than Nathan’s desire for dramatic
vindication.
