Chapter 14 - MALCOLM’S SECRET

Malcolm's fraud went deeper.
He had not only claimed Isaiah was dead.
He had spent years selling “heir verification” services based on family records he sometimes manipulated.
Victims came forward.
Not hundreds.
Enough.
His company faced civil and criminal investigations.
Isaiah refused to visit him.
Naomi asked:
“Don't you want answers?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“I already know why.”
“Money?”
“Resentment.”
Malcolm always believed Isaiah was favored by their father.
Then Isaiah's friendship with Silas made it worse.
He saw his brother standing close to wealth and receiving nothing.
He thought Isaiah was foolish.
Decades later, Malcolm tried to monetize the name.
Isaiah said:
“He always thought dignity was money we forgot to collect.”
