Daniel crouched while holding Lily and picked up the envelope.
Victoria stepped forward.
Give that back.
Daniel looked at her.
Why?
It is private.
He turned it over.
His own name was written across the front.
DANIEL CARTER.
Daniel frowned.
Private from me?
Victoria’s face changed.
Before she could answer, Marcus Hale, Daniel’s longtime attorney, walked toward them.
The moment Marcus saw the envelope, he stopped.
Daniel noticed.
You know what this is?
Marcus looked toward Victoria.
She should explain.
Daniel opened the envelope.
Inside were several legal documents.
The first page concerned the Carter Family Trust.
The second contained Daniel’s signature.
He stared at it.
I never signed this.
Victoria immediately said.
It was only a draft.
Marcus shook his head.
No.
That document was submitted yesterday.
Daniel slowly looked up.
The ballroom suddenly felt very quiet.
