Chapter 20 - The Aunt Who Was Supposed To Be DeadMarianne Bennett had once been co-beneficiary of the trust.

She accused Walter Cole of falsifying partnership records.
Then she vanished.
A death certificate was later filed overseas.
No body ever returned home.
The certificate had been processed through attorneys connected to Cole Holdings.
The recurring “risk containment” transfers led to a private medical residence in Maine.
Claire traveled there with Richard and Detective Hayes.
The facility overlooked a gray Atlantic inlet.
A nurse reviewed Claire’s identification.
Then her face changed.
“Claire Bennett?”
“Yes.”
The nurse stared at her.
“She’s been saying your name for fourteen years.”
Claire’s knees nearly weakened.
“Who?”

The nurse looked toward a secured hallway.
“Your aunt.”
