Chapter 11 - THE LETTER NO ONE KNEW ABOUT
Two years passed.
Robert grew into a happy little boy.
Lucas opened a business.
Sophia became involved with the foundation.
Daniel worked as an attorney.
My father retired.
Life became peaceful.
Until one afternoon, a package arrived.
No return address.
Inside was an old letter.
It was addressed to me.
The handwriting belonged to Robert.
But Robert had been dead for nearly thirty years.
The letter said:
Emily,
If this reaches you, then the first plan worked.
But there is another secret.
I stared.
The letter explained that Arthur had not been the only person controlling the Carter fortune.
There was another branch.
A second trust.
A separate company.
And someone had been quietly receiving money from it for decades.
The name was familiar.
Victoria's attorney.
I froze.
He had helped create the false evidence.
But why?
We investigated.
The truth was worse.
He had been working with Victoria because he believed the fortune should belong to him.
He had manipulated Arthur.
He had manipulated Victoria.
He had manipulated Daniel.
He had created the false photograph.
He had orchestrated the hospital leak.
The entire scandal had been larger than we realized.

But he was still alive.
And he had disappeared.
