Chapter 11 - Madison Reveals the Second Account
Madison had one more piece of information.
A brokerage account in Nevada.
Ryan had called it an emergency reserve.
Records showed funds entering from entities that had done business with
Caldwell subsidiaries.
Some payments were explained as investment returns.
Others required deeper review.
Then the forensic team found proceeds from the sale of a small
Caldwell-owned property.
Eleanor had never approved the sale.
The signature looked like hers.
A digital examination found the signature image had been copied from an
older document.
The proceeds moved through two entities before reaching the brokerage
account.
Ryan denied creating the authorization.
Investigators would determine responsibility.
Claire asked Eleanor whether she wanted to change the will now.
“No.”
Claire was surprised.
“The will is not the lesson.”
May you like
“What is?”
“Consequences.”
