Chapter 7 - Daniel Demands Answers About His Late Wife’s Estate
The mention of property rights triggered a sudden memory regarding the sudden death of Daniel’s late wife, Sarah.
Sarah had passed away in a tragic, sudden kitchen fire three years before Claire conveniently moved into the neighborhood.
“Sarah’s insurance payout and her family estate jewelry... where did they go after the fire?” Daniel asked sharply.
Claire flinched visibly, taking a half-step backward toward the front entry door.
“How should I know? The insurance adjusters and fire investigators cleared the entire property years ago,” she muttered defensively.
“Sarah’s mother’s antique diamond necklace was missing from the master safe when I checked it yesterday,” Daniel confronted her.
“Maybe your precious first wife pawned it before she died to cover her secret gambling debts,” Claire snapped viciously.

“Sarah didn't have a gambling bone in her body, and you know it because you lived two doors down from us back then,” Daniel realized.
The sudden realization hit him like a lightning bolt: Claire hadn't entered his life by random chance after Sarah’s funeral.
