Chapter 6 - Mother Knew Less Than I Thought
For the first few days, I wanted Victoria to be guilty of everything.
She had raised her hand at me.
She had defended Marcus after he threw a plate toward my head and slapped me out of my chair.
That was real.
But the investigation showed she had not known about the forged witness or copied signature.
Marcus had told her Father changed the plan because he believed I would sell the company.
He showed her emails supposedly written by Theodore.
One said:
Olivia does not understand what this company requires. Marcus must have final control.
The email was fake.
Mother had believed it.
That did not excuse what she did to me.
It did explain why she thought I was trying to steal our father’s legacy.
She had defended a lie because it arrived wearing Theodore’s name.
When Rebecca showed her the server records, Mother sat down and whispered:
“He used his father’s words against me.”

I answered:
“And you used them against me without asking whether they were true.”
