But my satisfaction didn’t last.
Daniel’s phone rang.
He answered.
His expression shifted.
“Yes.”
He listened.
Then looked directly at Eleanor.
“When?”
Another pause.
“Are you certain?”
He ended the call.
“What now?” Eleanor asked.
Daniel glanced at me before responding.
“The driver who called emergency services before Christopher arrived has been located.”
I frowned.
“I was the one who called.”
Daniel shook his head.
“Someone called ninety seconds before you.”
Eleanor’s face tightened.
“But nobody was there.”
“That’s the problem.”
He held up his phone.
“The caller reported Mrs. Halston’s location before she collapsed.”
A cold silence filled the office.
I stared at Eleanor.
“What does that mean?”
Daniel answered.
“It means someone knew exactly where she would be.”
His expression hardened.
“And her collapse may not have been an accident.”

Eleanor refused to go home.
