They purchased large residential properties for resale, program use, or redevelopment.
“They contacted me.”
Ana said.
“Why?”
“They found a locked cabinet in the study during inspection.”
My stomach tightened.
Trevor’s study.
The buyer’s representatives had not opened it.
They turned the cabinet over through counsel.
Inside were documents.
Not Cedarline.
Not my assets.
Kristen’s private plan.
A preliminary divorce petition.
Unsigned.
A proposed settlement analysis.
A list of assets she expected to receive after “succession completion.”
And one sentence in an email to her own attorney:
Trevor is useful until Gloria is removed.
After that, I need him separated from control before he destroys what we’ve acquired.
I leaned back.
There it was.
Kristen intended to leave him.
Not someday.
Immediately after Cedarline was captured.
Trevor had attacked me believing he was defending his future.
Kristen considered him a temporary tool.
I wondered how he would react when he learned.
