But the login happened at 2:13 in the morning.
Ana was sixty-two and considered 9:30 p.m. an act of rebellion.
She had already told investigators she was asleep.
Two weeks later, an amendment appeared in a lender file claiming Trevor had been appointed managing successor of Cedarline Capital if I became unavailable.
I had never created such an amendment.
My signature appeared at the bottom.
Martin's was there as witness.
Daniel pointed to it.
“Did you sign this?”
“No.”
“Did you ever discuss appointing Trevor as successor?”
“No.”
“Did Martin?”
“Once.”
“When?”
“A year ago.”
Martin had asked what happened to Cedarline if I died.
Reasonable question at sixty-eight.
I told him my estate documents handled it.
Cedarline would pass into a trust, but professional managers would oversee liquidation or continued operation.
Trevor did not automatically inherit operational control.
Martin had seemed surprised.
“You don't trust your own son?”
he'd asked.
