The man whose companies were connected to the missing six million.
I stared at Detective Grant.
She had gone pale.
Then Trevor said something that made every part of me turn cold.
“Mother, Daniel isn’t the man who was supposed to inherit Cedarline.”
I could barely speak.
“Then who?”
He took a shaky breath.
“His younger brother.”
I stopped breathing.
Trevor continued:
“His name is Nathan Pierce.”
I stared at the wall.
I’d heard that name before.
Years ago.
At a charity dinner.
Nathan Pierce had been introduced to me as the founder of a private investment firm.
He was charming.
Successful.
And he looked strangely like Henry when he smiled.
I remembered telling Daniel that his brother reminded me of my late husband.
Daniel had laughed.
Now I understood why that memory frightened me.
Trevor began crying again.
“Mother, Nathan has been looking for his birth family for years.”
