Chapter 16 - The Call from Twenty Years Ago
Madison had been a teenager when Thomas Carter died.
Her father worked for the contractor network.
The night of the accident, Margaret called the Vale household looking for Madison’s father.
Madison answered.
She heard Margaret shouting that Thomas had been followed.
Then the line disconnected.
Hours later, news reported Thomas’s vehicle had left the road.
Madison never forgot the voice.
Years afterward, when Evan asked her to impersonate Margaret, she recognized the name.
She said nothing.
She feared her own family’s connection to Thomas’s death.
Nolan later admitted their father helped disable a warning system in Thomas’s military vehicle.
The crash had not been accidental.
Evan did not know the full truth at first.
But he discovered it while reviewing old contractor files.
Instead of reporting it, he used the secret to control Madison and Nolan.
