Chapter 3: The Holloway Secret

Chapter 3: The Holloway Secret
The Holloways struck first.
Food suppliers suddenly canceled my orders.
Health inspectors appeared without notice.
Anonymous online reviews accused my diner of poisoning customers.
Exactly as Grant had promised.
He thought I would panic.
Instead...
Daniel filed six lawsuits in one afternoon.
Then an investigative reporter called.
"I heard the Holloways are threatening witnesses."
"Who told you that?" I asked.
"You'd be surprised who eats breakfast at your diner."
That same evening, another surprise arrived.
A former accountant from Holloway Select Markets walked into Carter's Table.
"My name is Rebecca Sloan."
She placed a flash drive on the counter.
"I can't watch them hurt another woman."
The drive contained years of financial records.
Hidden payments.
Tax fraud.
Illegal supplier kickbacks.
Charities that existed only on paper.

Margaret's elegant charity empire...
Was nothing more than a money-laundering operation.
