Two weeks earlier, she had contacted me after discovering Daniel had promised her my house, my company, and half a million dollars once he “got rid of” me. She had thought he meant divorce until she overheard Gloria discussing medication and a staged accident.
Evelyn had recorded that conversation.
“You are certain?” Mara asked.
Ruiz heard it through my microphone. His expression hardened.
“I am certain,” I said.
I ended the call and checked the documents one time. The forged invoices traced directly to Gloria’s consulting company. Vanessa’s purchases appeared beside photographs of her wearing the stolen jewelry. Daniel’s affair messages included plans to empty my accounts, declare me unstable, and claim I had caused every problem herself.
But their most damaging mistake was hidden in the walls.
