Chapter 4 - The Video Nobody Expected to SeeTyler had uploaded the lake video to a private group.
He thought it was hilarious.
Until one of his friends asked:
“Dude, is that your grandma?”
“Yes.”
“She looks like she's actually drowning.”
Tyler laughed.
“She was fine.”
His friend didn't laugh.
“You should delete that.”
Tyler shrugged.
“Why?”
“Because if she complains, you're screwed.”
Tyler ignored him.
But someone had already downloaded the video.
And that person was Eleanor's attorney.
Margaret watched it twice.
Then called Eleanor.
“You need to see this.”
Eleanor stared at the screen.
She watched her grandson push her.
She watched herself disappear.
She watched her daughter-in-law laugh.
She watched her son stand there.
Then she saw Tyler turn toward the camera and say:
“Wait until Grandpa sees this.”
Eleanor's face changed.
Margaret noticed.
“What?”
“My husband.”
“What about him?”
“He died eight years ago.”
Margaret frowned.
“What does that mean?”
Eleanor paused the video.
“Tyler knows something.”
She leaned closer.
“Something about my husband's estate.”
Margaret immediately understood.
“Do you think they were trying to pressure you?”
“I don't know.”
“But you suspect it.”
“Yes.”
“Then we investigate.”
May you like
Eleanor nodded.
“For the first time in my life, I'm going to stop assuming the best about people.”
