Chapter 11 - Victor Langley Calls His Daughter
Vanessa’s phone records became relevant after investigators and
attorneys began examining the newly discovered files through proper
channels.
Victor called her repeatedly.
One voicemail was preserved.
“Get Richard’s archive before Adrian understands what it is.”
Another said:
“The Reyes woman cannot be allowed near those records.”
Vanessa claimed her father was talking about confidential business
documents.
Then financial records showed she had received payments from a
consulting entity connected to one of the questionable vendors.
Vanessa said they were legitimate trust distributions.
Some may have been.
Others required explanation.
Adrian ended the engagement.
Vanessa screamed that Naomi had destroyed her life.
Naomi answered quietly:
“I caught your ankle.”
Vanessa stared.
May you like
“You did the rest.”
That sentence followed Vanessa long after she left the Sterling estate.
