Chapter 2 - Robert Shows the First Transfer

Robert spread the statements across the damaged buffet table.
The first highlighted withdrawal was $48,000.
The second was $72,500.
Then $115,000.
Daniel wiped beer from his face and looked down at the dates.
All of the money had come from Robert’s family investment account.
Rebecca laughed nervously.
“That proves nothing.”
Robert pointed to the destination.
North Shore Ventures LLC.
Tom’s face changed.
Sarah noticed immediately.
“Who owns North Shore Ventures?”
No one answered.
Robert slid another page forward.
The company had been formed eighteen months earlier.
Its registered manager was Thomas Keller.
Tom.
Rebecca’s husband.
The deck went completely silent.
Daniel looked at his sister.
“You told everyone I stole from Dad.”
Rebecca’s voice sharpened.
“Because you had access too.”
Robert shook his head.
“No. Daniel never touched this account.”
Rebecca stared at him.
Robert turned another page.
“North Shore received $684,000 from me.”
Tom finally spoke.
“It was an investment.”
Robert looked at him.
“Then show me where I authorized it.”
Tom said nothing.
That was when Daniel understood.
