“Simon, we have full verbal confirmation,” I told him clearly.
“Understood, Mary,” Simon replied through the speaker. “The fraudulent payment requests have been completely frozen, and the investigators are waiting outside.”
Robin turned to look at me in confusion. “What do you mean by fraudulent?”
Simon continued explaining over the phone line. “Ms. Willis instructed three separate vendors to add false consulting fees that total two hundred forty thousand dollars, and those fees were routed directly to a shell company owned by her brother.”
Tabitha took a quick step backward toward the wall. “That is an absolute lie.”
I reached into my bag and placed a stack of bank records on the marble table. “Your brother’s agency was officially registered exactly eleven days after Robin proposed to you.”
Robin picked up the documents and suddenly seemed to age ten years as he read the numbers.
Tabitha forced tears to spill over her eyelashes.
