The Morning after (9)

Pausing Daniel slipped his phone into his trousers pocket before saying "Uncle Cole, I told you last night what I think the money was used for."

"And based on that the expert figured out overnight you were right.  The money span through numerous offshore accounts and shell companies that not even I knew that ungrateful brat of a son of mine had established, until it hit the account of who you expected."

"I hate to be right, but I suspected that as soon as you told me.  With what I have seen since the day I married Abigail of how your son and daughter-in-law treat Abigail compared to Sara, there would be no question that they would do whatever was financially expedient to minimise any potential damage to their precious princess.  I am betting the money was a payoff to have him use what he had to protect himself to rehabilitate her."
