Chapter 14 - THE FALL OF DANIEL CARTERDaniel's empire began collapsing.
One contract after another disappeared.
The board removed him as CEO pending investigation.
His accounts were frozen.
The mansion was placed under legal protection.
And Vanessa, realizing there was nothing left to gain, turned against him.
She handed investigators the final evidence.
Daniel had planned everything months before Claire even discovered the affair.
He had intended to divorce Claire quietly.
Move Vanessa into a luxury penthouse.
And convince the court that Claire was incapable of raising Emily.
But one message changed everything.
Vanessa had written:
“She'll never fight you. She's too broken.”
Daniel replied:
“That's why I chose her.”
Claire read the message.
Her hands shook.
Not because she was surprised.
Because somewhere inside, she had always feared it was true.
