The Family Betrayal
Chapter 14 - The Family Betrayal
Mark Carter had been helping Richard for years.
Daniel refused to believe it.
Mark had comforted him after Amy's disappearance.
He attended the memorial.
He helped raise Emma.
But bank records told another story.
Richard had paid Mark nearly $200,000.
Mark had also been the person who leaked Amy's cooperation with investigators six years earlier.
When police questioned him, Mark confessed.
He claimed he needed money after his business collapsed.
He never expected Amy to disappear.
But Daniel saw the truth.
His brother had sold their safety.
Their marriage.
Emma's childhood.
Everything.
Mark gave police Richard's location in exchange for leniency.
But Richard was already gone.
Before fleeing, he left Daniel a message.
You have something that belongs to me.
Daniel knew he wasn't talking about money.
