I frowned.
“What money?”
“The account Grandpa left me.”
My heart started pounding.
“Adrian moved it into a CD.”
Sophie shook her head.
“No.”
“For safekeeping.”
“No, Mom.” Pregnancy& Maternity
She looked me straight in the eyes.
“He drained it.”
THE DOCUMENTS
Sophie opened the folder.
Bank statements.
Screenshots.
Transfers.
Copies of records.
Then she removed a tiny digital recorder.
“I found out by accident.”
“When?”
“While you were away on a work trip.”
A memory hit me.
The Sunday dinner.
The statement.
Adrian taking it away.
Sophie continued.
“One statement came to the house.”
“I opened it.”
“And?”
“I confronted Adrian.”
I held Pauline closer.
“What did he say?”
Sophie’s jaw tightened.
“He didn’t even pretend.”
My stomach turned.
“He told me if I told you, he would call your boss.”
“What?”
“He said he knew someone who golfed with a member of your firm’s board.”
