The statement identified my father, Richard, as the person who had approved several disputed transactions. Financial records showed that money from Grandma’s trust had been transferred into accounts associated with a property business he controlled. Some of the funds had been used to cover Paige’s debts and living expenses. My father had repeatedly told everyone that he was helping the family, but the documents suggested he had been using assets that were never his to distribute.

When Daniel presented the findings to the appropriate investigators, another discovery emerged. My parents had been planning to use my penthouse as collateral for a private loan. They believed they could pressure me into signing documents once Paige had moved in and established herself there. The locksmith’s work order was part of that plan. Suddenly, the break-in made sense. They hadn’t simply wanted a place for Paige to live. They wanted control over my property and access to documents they believed could expose their financial dealings.
