According to David, his father was practically retired.
It was a lie.
Charles had used professional contacts to try to control the narrative before dawn.
But there was something even worse.
Martin pulled out emails.
—We found this during our internal review.
The messages were from before Christmas.
One was three months old.
Sender: David.
Recipient: Charles.
Affair:
ANNA.
I read Charles Miller.
My father-in-law.
But there was another signature as a witness.
Sylvia Miller.
My mother-in-law.
The same woman who had treated me like a servant had been trying for months to gain legal control over my assets.
Then my lawyer received a call.
He listened for almost a minute.
His expression changed.
—What's happening?
He hung up.
—Authorities preserved the Christmas camera recordings.
-Good.
—Anna, they found something prior to the incident.
-That?
—A conversation between Sylvia and David in the kitchen.
He showed me a preliminary transcript.
Sylvia:
"If he doesn't sign tonight, it will be too late."
