Chapter 10 - THE FAILED INVESTMENT
Daniel had invested $87,000 in one of Scott’s commercial renovation projects.
Without telling me.
The money came from an inheritance account Daniel had maintained before our marriage.
Legally his.
Still secret.
The project collapsed.
Scott returned $20,000 eventually.
Loss:
$67,000.
Karen learned before Robert did.
She told Daniel:
“I’ll handle Dad.”
Why would Robert care?
Because Scott had also requested trust financing.
Karen concealed that Daniel lost personal money to keep Robert approving her later requests.
Then she said:
“Remember who protected you.”
Daniel remembered.
When the second transfer appeared, he suspected.
Did not push.
When Robert asked, Daniel said:
“Maybe I forgot signing.”
Lie.
Small.

Useful.
Then silence became participation.
