When I first started playing I suspected that Daphne was in cahoots with Cornell in some way. I still do. I suspect she blew through her previous husbands estate and is either broke or rapidly running out of money. I think she's been working with Cornell to syphon off, or gain full access to, money in Julia's accounts. There was just something about Haley's information that kind of reinforced that belief for me. I think Cornell was playing the long game to gain access to Julia's money, but the money he owed to the loan-sharks forced him to move the time-table up. The MC's appearance, and access to funds to take care of him, allowed Cornell to buy more time or pay off the debt to the loan-sharks in whole. If Daphne is involved with Cornell, how much is Barbara aware of? I think there may be a couple more twists and turns in store for Julia, Lori, Cassie, and MC. Great story (and graphics) so far!
