Chapter 2: The Secret Inside the Safe
Margaret Carter survived the fall.
Barely.
She remained unconscious in intensive care while detectives quietly secured the mansion.
Vivian insisted it had been a tragic accident.
"There are no cameras near the staircase."
"There were no witnesses except a frightened child."
She believed she still had a chance.
But she had forgotten one thing.
Margaret trusted almost no one.
Months earlier, the elderly woman had secretly hired a security consultant after noticing strange financial activity inside the family company.
While searching her private office, investigators discovered a hidden wall safe.
Inside were handwritten journals.
USB drives.
Bank statements.
Property transfers.
And one sealed envelope addressed to Ethan.
He opened it with shaking hands.
If you're reading this, someone finally decided I know too much.
Trust no document Vivian asks you to sign.
Follow the money.
The USB drives revealed millions of dollars quietly transferred into shell companies controlled by Vivian's brother.
Luxury properties.
Offshore accounts.
Forged signatures.
It wasn't just greed.
For three years, Vivian had been stealing the Carter family fortune while preparing to disappear forever.
