“I spoke to a private investigator I’ve worked with before,” he said. “I also contacted the insurance company again. They won’t release everything without formal authorization, but I learned a few things.”
Maya adjusted her pillow.
“About Marisol?”
“About Marisol, Samuel Reeves, and David’s father.”
Daniel opened his laptop.
“Hudson Family Consulting was registered by Samuel Reeves, but the company hasn’t reported any normal business activity. It appears to exist mainly to receive money.”
“From my mother and from Maya,” David said.
“Yes. And probably from other people.”
Maya’s face tightened.
“Do you think my mother is involved?”
“I don’t know,” Daniel replied. “But based on what she said during the call, she may be a victim too.”
David stood near the window, gently rocking Liam.
“What about the insurance policy?”
Daniel turned the laptop toward them.
“Your father, Thomas Bennett, owned several small rental buildings with Samuel Reeves. Six weeks before Thomas died, he changed the beneficiary on one life insurance policy from Eleanor Bennett to Marisol Santos.”
