Chapter 17 - MY FATHER KNEW ENOUGH
Richard admitted knowing Tyler wanted “conduct evidence.”
He denied knowing about physical harm.
Texts supported him partly.
He repeatedly said:
No manufacturing.
No confrontation.
Document only.
But he also wrote:
We need this resolved before ten.
That meant he knew Ethan’s beneficiary status was the target.
He had turned his grandson into a procedural problem.
Not a child.
When I confronted him, he said:
“I was trying to preserve the deal for everyone.”
“Everyone?”
“Yes.”
“Including Ethan?”
“The sale benefits him.”
May you like
“Then why remove his protections?”
Dad had no answer.
