Chapter 9 - THE TRIBECA APARTMENT WASN’T A LOVE NESTAt least not primarily.
The lease was in North Cove Residential’s name.
Sloan stayed there.
Preston visited.
Yes.
But investigators found something else.
A locked file cabinet.
Three laptops.
Printed bid documents from multiple companies.
A burner phone.
A list of public officials and private consultants categorized by:
Friendly.
Expensive.
Risk.
Unstable.
Not romantic.
Operational.
The apartment was an information hub.
Preston had subsidized it through our family money.
That fact humiliated him deeply.
Again, not my problem.
The interesting document was a lease rider signed by another person:
Caleb Ross.
The Whitmore procurement vice president who resigned.
He had not taken $275,000.
He had loaned Sloan money.

Why?
Because she blackmailed him too.
