Daniel continued reading while the entire wedding party watched.
Years earlier, Claire and Victoria had known each other.
They had once been close friends.
Then Claire discovered Victoria had been secretly meeting with Robert Carter, Daniels father.
Robert never approved of Claire.
He believed she was wrong for the Carter family.
According to the letter, Robert and Victoria had tried to convince Claire that Daniel wanted her gone.
Daniel stopped reading.
He looked at Victoria.
Is this true?
Victoria shook her head.
Claire misunderstood everything.
Daniel continued.
Claire wrote that the night she disappeared, Victoria arrived at the house with documents supposedly signed by Daniel.
The documents said Daniel wanted Claire to leave and surrender any claim to several family assets.
Daniel stared at Victoria.
I never signed anything like that.
Victoria looked toward the floor.
Sophie held the crying baby closer.
Then Daniel reached the final paragraph.
Claire had written one more thing.
The original documents were hidden somewhere Victoria would never think to search.
Inside the silver locket was a tiny key.
