Daniel carried Noah back toward the house while Sophie stayed beside him.
Victoria followed.
Inside the study, Daniel went directly to his desk.
A black folder was sitting beneath several papers.
He opened it.
Victoria stopped in the doorway.
Daniel.
He ignored her.
Inside were company documents.
Several pages authorized transfers from Carter Holdings into a private investment account.
Daniel flipped to the last page.
His signature appeared at the bottom.
He stared at it.
I never signed this.
Victoria’s face went pale.
Daniel looked toward Sophie.
Is this what you saw?
She nodded.
Victoria was holding it before she made us go outside.
Daniel slowly turned toward his wife.
Explain this.
Victoria started talking quickly.
It was only a draft.
Daniel looked at the signature again.
Drafts dont have my signature.
She became silent.
Then Daniel noticed the receiving company.
He recognized the name.
It belonged to Victorias brother.
Daniel looked back at her.
How much were you trying to transfer?
Victoria said nothing.
Daniel read the figure himself.
Two million dollars.
Sophie held Noah’s hand.
Daniel closed the folder.
Now he understood why Victoria had wanted the children out of the way.
They had seen something she never expected them to see.
