Victoria moved toward the enclosure.<\/p>\n

Sophie stepped in front of Noah.<\/p>\n

Dont touch him.<\/p>\n

Victoria stared at her.<\/p>\n

Give me the phone.<\/p>\n

Sophie shook her head.<\/p>\n

I dont have it.<\/p>\n

Victoria knew she was lying.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Sophie had taken the small hidden phone from the kitchen drawer.<\/p>\n

Before Victoria caught them, Sophie slipped it into Noahs jacket.<\/p>\n

The device contained screenshots of financial transfers.<\/p>\n

For nearly a year, Victoria had been moving money from Daniel Carters company into accounts controlled by a private investment group.<\/p>\n

Daniel had no idea.<\/p>\n

Victoria believed she could replace the money before anyone noticed.<\/p>\n

She did not understand everything.<\/p>\n

But she understood one thing.<\/p>\n

Victoria was scared of Daniel seeing them.<\/p>\n

Sophie had sent one photo to her father before Victoria grabbed the phone.<\/p>\n

What Victoria did not know was that the phone automatically uploaded everything to the cloud.<\/p>\n

Across the city, Daniel had just logged into Sophies account.<\/p>\n

The messages appeared on his screen.<\/p>\n

Transfers.<\/p>\n

Account numbers.<\/p>\n

Victorias name.<\/p>\n

Daniel whispered.<\/p>\n

What have you done?<\/p>\n

Then Ethan called again.<\/p>\n

Daniel.<\/p>\n

Police are on the way.<\/p>\n

And your daughter just saw me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
