Single Dad Janitor Yelled “Don’t Get in the Car!” — What the CEO Did Next Shocked the Whole Company
Chapter 8
Daniel couldn’t breathe.
“My daughter?”
Victoria nodded.
“Your wife may have known.”
“How much is the trust worth?”
“Enough to attract very dangerous people.”
Daniel stood.
“I never knew.”
“Neither did I.”
They searched Rachel’s old records.
The trust had been established before Lily was born.
A clause stated that if Rachel died, her child’s identity would remain protected until the child turned eighteen.
Lily was six.
Someone had discovered the trust early.
Daniel looked at Victoria.
“Who?”
She pointed to one name.
Her father’s former legal adviser.
Edwin Blake.
He was now chairman of a major private equity firm.
Daniel stared.
“He’s still alive.”
“Yes.”
“And powerful.”
“Very.”
They contacted the police.
But before authorities could intervene, Daniel received a message.
We know where Lily is.
His blood went cold.
A second message followed.
Bring the trust documents. Come alone.
Daniel showed Victoria.
She shook her head.
“You’re not going alone.”
“I’ll do whatever it takes.”
“No.”
She looked at him.
“For once, let someone protect you.”
Daniel stared.
Victoria had spent her entire life believing she needed nobody.
Now she was offering to risk everything for him and his daughter.
Together, they created a plan.
The police would monitor the exchange.
Victoria would provide false documents.
Daniel would play along.
But the kidnappers had one advantage.
They knew details that only someone inside the company could have known.
And that meant the conspiracy reached deeper than anyone realized.
