Then Sarah reached into her bag.
“There was one more thing she gave me.”
She placed a folded document on the table.
It was a letter from Daniel to Jenna.
The date was more than a year old.
I read the first paragraph, then looked up.
“Sarah, this is…”
“Keep reading.”
The letter described a plan to persuade Sarah to transfer control of her property into a company Daniel would manage. If she refused, he intended to use Jenna’s access to her documents to create financial pressure until she agreed.
The letter also mentioned Robert.
Daniel had written that Robert had discovered the scheme years earlier and had refused to cooperate. Daniel believed the old trust documents could complicate any attempt to control Sarah’s assets.
He had not simply taken advantage of a bad situation.
He had been waiting for an opportunity.
Sarah stared at the letter.
“Jenna said she found it in his office after he disappeared. She brought it to me because she finally understood what he’d been planning.”
