Chapter 8 - The Forged Guarantee

The document examiner confirmed it.

Emma’s signature had been forged.

Then the bank’s digital records revealed something worse.

The loan application had been uploaded from an IP address registered to the Mercer mansion.

The login credentials belonged to Vivian.

Rebecca advised filing a police report.

Emma hesitated.

“She could be charged.”

“Yes.”

“She’s Daniel’s mother.”

“Yes.”

Emma looked away.

Rebecca leaned forward.

“You are still protecting people who did not protect you.”

That sentence decided it.

Emma filed the report.

When Daniel heard, he didn’t ask her to withdraw it.

He only said:

“I wish she hadn’t put you in this position.”

Emma answered:

“She didn’t put me here alone.”

Daniel closed his eyes.

“I know.”

This time, Emma believed he did.
