Hayes placed a printed transcript on the table.
It contained text messages exchanged between Adrian and Cameron.
One message was dated eleven days before the fourth incident.
Adrian: “We need another documented episode.”
Cameron: “She’s getting scared.”
Adrian: “Then keep her calm. We can’t access anything without the medical paperwork.”
Cameron: “What if Elena takes her to the hospital?”
Adrian: “She won’t. I can handle Elena.”
My vision blurred.
I continued reading.
Three days later, Cameron had written:
“Vanessa says she’s not doing another one.”
Adrian replied:
“Tell her the money disappears if she quits.”
Another message arrived minutes later.
“And remind her what I know about her.”
I pushed the papers away.
“He used our daughter like an investment.”
Sullivan’s expression remained solemn.
“The evidence suggests financial motivation, but the prosecution will have to establish each offense and each person’s role.”
I looked at her.
“Will Adrian go to prison?”
