Later that evening, Daniel went into his private study.
He could not stop thinking about the argument.
Victoria had been acting strangely for weeks.
Then he noticed his laptop was already open.
A video window appeared on the screen.
Victoria was speaking with another woman.
Daniel froze.
The recording had been saved automatically from an earlier video call.
He turned up the volume.
Victoria was talking about money.
A private account.
And documents Daniel was supposed to sign after Christmas.
Then the other woman said something that made Daniel sit completely still.
“Once he signs, you control everything.”
Daniel stared at the screen.
Victoria answered.
“He won’t read the details.”
Daniel’s face changed.
The argument at dinner suddenly made sense.
Victoria had not been angry because of the children.
She had been afraid Daniel might discover what she was planning.
