The next morning Daniel called an emergency meeting at Carter Holdings.
The company attorney sat at one end of the long conference table.
Daniel placed the contract in front of him.
Check every signature.
Victoria sat several seats away.
She looked exhausted.
The attorney compared the documents with archived originals.
Then he looked up.
The signature attributed to Claire Carter is not authentic.
Daniel said nothing.
The attorney continued.
And several pages appear to have been replaced after the initial draft.
Victoria finally spoke.
I was trying to keep the trust inside the family.
Daniel looked at her.
Sophie is my family.
Victoria lowered her eyes.
Daniel asked one final question.
How much would you control if these documents became valid?
The attorney answered.
Approximately thirty-two million dollars.
The room went completely silent.
Daniel closed the folder.
Cancel everything.
Victoria looked at him.
Daniel.
He shook his head.
This meeting is over.
But the investigation is just beginning.
