Chapter 6 - The Livestream That Saved Me
Tiffany's humiliating livestream became unexpected evidence.
It documented Claire's arrival.
Her father's insult.
Brad's jokes.
The timing of Claire entering and leaving the hallway.
The arrival of police.
Most importantly, it captured a conversation in the background.
Brad's voice could be heard telling Richard:
“Once she's gone, get the papers out.”
Tiffany stared at the recording.
“My stupid livestream saved you.”
Claire almost smiled.
“There's a sentence I never expected to hear.”
The clip spread online after someone screen-recorded the original broadcast.
Thousands of strangers began discussing the moment the general entered.
But Claire refused interview requests.
She did not want fame.
She wanted the truth.
Tiffany surprised her by deleting several sensational posts and publicly asking people to stop contacting Claire.
It was the first genuinely protective thing Claire remembered her sister doing.
Then investigators enhanced another section of the livestream.
A reflection in the hallway mirror showed someone entering Dad's office while everyone watched General Mercer.
The figure removed something from a drawer.
It wasn't Richard.
It wasn't Patricia.
It wasn't Brad.
Claire watched the footage repeatedly.
Then she recognized the jacket.
A family friend named Martin Cole.
Her father's longtime accountant.
