Chapter 4 - Vanessa Knew Exactly Who Liam Was
The school began reviewing the incident.
Parents had recorded portions of it.
Aiden had recorded almost all of it.
Vanessa initially claimed she did not know who Liam was.
That changed when the admissions director found an email.
Three months earlier, Vanessa had objected to Liam’s scholarship
application.
She wrote:
I strongly question whether this family fits the culture we’re trying to
preserve.
Rachel read it twice.
The email included Liam’s full name.
His father’s name.
Michael Reed.
Vanessa knew.
She had known before the first day of school.
Charles admitted he knew too.
Rachel asked Principal Warren:
“Why would she care that Liam got in?”
Warren hesitated.
“There’s another part of Michael’s connection to this school.”
Liam’s scholarship was not random.
It came from a fund created six years earlier.
