Chapter 14 - Nathan’s Version of the Truth

Nathan admitted stealing money.
Millions.
Not hundreds of millions.
He admitted threatening Victoria.
Admitted hiding Margaret’s existence.
Admitted destroying records.
He did not admit attempted murder.
More importantly, he offered proof.
The message ordering Noah’s “trigger” removed came from an account established by Richard.
Nathan claimed Richard’s obsession began years earlier.
Richard wanted the Whitmore and Hale fortunes unified.
Marcus marrying Elena accomplished most of it.
Noah completed the bloodline.
Except the automatic audit threatened to expose every illegal transfer Richard had made.
Therefore Noah had to die before recertification.
Nathan said he had tried to frighten Victoria into helping him steal the evidence first.
He had not expected Richard to weaponize the access.
Elena hated him.
But some of his evidence was real.
