Chapter 6 - Twelve Years Earlier
Bianca had known the Hale family since she was nineteen.
Henry had hired her mother as a private nurse.
Bianca occasionally visited the estate.
Martha remembered her.
Barely.
“She used another last name.”
Bianca Laurent had once been Bianca Mercer.
Her mother, Celeste Mercer, had been fired after Henry accused her of stealing medication.
Celeste later died by suicide.
Bianca blamed the Hales.
Raymond found her years later.
He gave her a different version of history.
He told Bianca Henry had framed Celeste to hide an affair.
Julian investigated.
The affair was real.
Henry and Celeste had been involved.
But the theft accusation was false.
Raymond had stolen the medication and blamed Celeste.
Why?
Because Henry had discovered Raymond embezzling company money.
Raymond needed leverage.
Celeste became collateral damage.
Bianca had spent years hating the wrong Hale.

And Raymond had built that hatred into a weapon.
