Chapter 17 - Anna'S Impossible Choice
Anna's Impossible Choice
Evelyn's sister revealed that she had inherited the final trust legally.
She could claim the money.
Or she could give it away.
Anna opposed her.
“The money should help people.”
Nathan agreed.
But the sister refused.
“For twenty-five years, I protected what was left of my family.”
Grace asked, “From whom?”
“From everyone.”
She revealed that Evelyn had not died believing Nathan was helpless.
She believed he would eventually choose differently.
The final trust had a condition.
It could only be released if Nathan publicly admitted that his family benefited from the crimes.
Nathan agreed.
The statement would destroy his remaining reputation.
He did it anyway.
Anna cried while listening.
Grace held his hand.
Lily watched the broadcast from home.
When Nathan finished, she turned to Grace.
“Daddy looks sad.”
“He is.”
“Did he do bad things?”
“No.”
“Then why is he sorry?”
Grace smiled.
“Because sometimes being part of something wrong means you have to help make it right, even when you didn't start it.”
The trust was released.
Seventy million dollars became one hundred and three million after hidden assets were recovered.
The victims received compensation.
Safe Harbor expanded.
But Nathan received a new summons.
This time, the accusation was against him personally.
Someone claimed Nathan had knowingly concealed evidence.
The signature on the document looked exactly like his.

Someone was setting him up.
