The Hidden Ledger and the Reckoning of the Hart Family Foundation
*Those are hidden in the safe deposit box at the Concord National Bank, under the name Eleanor Vance, my maiden name.*
I stared at the name on the page.
Eleanor Vance.
She had used her maiden name to hide the assets from Graham and his mother, Margaret.
Margaret had always been the mastermind behind Graham’s ambitions, pushing him to marry into our family.
I continued reading, my eyes moving faster now.
*Do not trust Margaret, Claire. She has helped him falsify the audits.*
*The ledger they are currently looking for is not the only one.*
*I have kept the original ledger, the one that proves Graham was diverting funds to Vance Harrison’s offshore accounts as early as five years ago.*
*It is in the bank box.*
*Take this letter, take the key, and go to Rachel immediately.*
*Be careful, my sweet girl. They are desperate, and desperate people do desperate things.*
*With all my love, Mother.*
I folded the letter, my mind racing.
The secondary trust changed everything.
If Daniel Reyes could get his hands on the original ledger from the bank box, we could prove the fraud and secure the estate in one move.
