Chapter 4 - Unraveling the Web

Robert hires a top-tier private investigator, Marcus, to dive deep into Cassandra Vale’s past. What Marcus uncovers is a pattern of domestic manipulation, financial fraud, and non-disclosure settlements left in her wake at her previous employment in New York. Meanwhile, Michael’s marketing firm begins facing sudden, mysterious pressure as key clients—friends of Robert—quietly pull their accounts. Michael panics, reaching out to his father for an emergency bail-out. Robert sets a condition: a formal family meeting at the Whitaker residence where Michael and Cassandra must account for their business practices and family conduct.
