That night Bernadette slept so well that she woke up a little bit later than usual. She was pleased that she now had the upper hand over Tracy even if it was for only a day.
Everything was still a mess in her head but if taking the property at Royal Lake was all it took to push her to the ground then she was more than willing to do it.
She sighed and got out of bed to prepare for work. Whatever her father did back then must have been very serious and she wanted to find out the truth because it involved her and Walter.
How could he have other hidden estates and how did he hide them? Why didn't he sell some of it to finance his company? Only the property at Royal Lake was enough to end the financial struggles of the company but yet he kept them hidden.
Was he hiding them from someone? The people he made a deal with? What sort of deal was it? Why did he put his life and family in such straits? Was he murdered?
