Chapter 8 - THE SECOND BETRAYALA federal agent visited Helen one morning.
He carried a photograph.
“We need you to identify someone.”
Helen looked at the image.
A man leaving a courthouse.
She recognized him.
Her face changed.
“No.”
Francesca stepped closer.
“Who is it?”
Helen whispered his name.
“Richard's former accountant.”
The accountant had vanished shortly after Richard's arrest.
Everyone had assumed he had fled the country.
He hadn't.
He had been working with the syndicate.
And according to investigators, he had access to confidential financial documents.
Including Helen's settlement.
But there was another revelation.
He hadn't acted alone.
Someone inside the legal process had leaked the settlement amount.
Francesca looked furious.
“I trusted the wrong people.”
Helen shook her head.
“No.”
She looked at Sarah.
“Everyone trusted the wrong people.”
