Chapter 7 - Mrs. Alvarez Knew The Past
Mrs. Alvarez admitted meeting Michael.
She knew him through Daniel’s late mother, Margaret Mercer.
Decades earlier, Margaret had briefly worked as an accountant at Henry Whitmore’s insurance company.

Rachel finally admitted Victor once worked in corporate investigations for her father’s insurance company.
He had been controlling during their relationship.
