Some money had been moved into accounts Daniel controlled. Other payments were described as company costs but had no supporting invoices.
When Morgan questioned him, my father said the money was needed for our household and my mother’s treatment.
Morgan accepted the explanation at first.
Then he discovered that some of the money had been used to pay personal expenses connected to the woman my father later married.
He confronted Daniel privately.
My father denied everything.
He accused Morgan of misunderstanding the accounts and threatened to dissolve their partnership if he continued asking questions.
Morgan could have walked away then.
Instead, he began keeping copies of the financial records.
He wasn’t trying to destroy my father. He wanted to understand where the money had gone and whether my mother had been left with debts she knew nothing about.
When he finally approached her, she was still recovering from surgery.
He brought the documents to her home and asked whether she knew about the transfers.
