“Before you sell my home to finance Mark’s company, you should probably know where his first $600,000 came from.”
Sarah laughed.
Mark didn’t.
She opened the folder.
The first page showed Meridian Strategic Holdings receiving three transfers totaling $600,000 from an investment account Arthur and I owned.
“What is this?”
“Keep reading.”
Mark’s eyes had already fixed on the account number.
“Dad invested in Mark’s company?” Sarah asked.
“No.”
Mark cut in quickly.
“It’s complicated.”
The corporate records came next.
Meridian belonged to Mark.
Then came the authorization forms bearing Arthur’s supposed signature.
Sarah frowned.
“That’s Dad’s signature.”
I placed a verified example beside it.
Similar.
Not identical.
Then I showed her the forensic document examiner’s report.
Her face tightened.
Mark pushed his chair backward.
“This is ridiculous.”
I turned another page.
Login histories.
Device identifiers.
An IP address associated with Mark’s office.
Another tied to Sarah and Mark’s home network.
Sarah’s voice became barely audible.
