Chapter 17 - Why Claire Was Hit

Vanessa later claimed the slap was mutual combat.
Hotel hallway video complicated that.
No camera inside the bridal suite.
But one outside.
Claire enters.
Twenty-three minutes later, Noah exits alone.
Then Claire appears at the doorway.
Vanessa catches her arm.
Claire pulls away.
Vanessa follows.
Claire’s phone falls.
Marcus picks it up.
The angle does not show the slap.
Audio captures Claire saying:
“Don’t touch me again.”
Then Vanessa:
“Give me the drive.”
Important.
The drive.
She knew.
Claire refused.
Vanessa searched Claire’s purse.
Could not find it.
Because Noah already had it.
Three-year-old courier.
