Chapter 18 - THE SAFE

Frank’s office safe contained originals.
Not only letters.
Evelyn’s estate correspondence.
Trust certifications.
Draft financial projections.
One handwritten page.
Frank:
If Diane reconnects before trust division complete, Emily branch activates.
Loan capacity reduced.
Need Mercer Amusements stabilized first.
There.
Planning.
Not homicide.
Not kidnapping.
Financial concealment.
Another note:
Tell Diane family refuses. Cleaner than explaining trust issue.
I read it twice.
Cleaner.
A daughter’s grief.
A child’s identity.
An adoptive family’s silence.
Cleaner.
Frank later claimed the note reflected panic, not a formal plan.

Maybe.
It still revealed thought.
