“I understand more than you think,” she replied.
Celeste's tone tightened. "You have no money, no home, and six children. If you confront us, we'll make you look unstable."
Mara hung up.
Then he called Attorney Bell.
In her office, filled with old papers and pervaded by a subtle tension, Mara handed him the folder. Inside were documents: financial records, emails, medical records, a will, a trust deed, and a video file.
Bell's expression changed.
“What is it?” she asked.
He looked at her carefully. "Your husband transferred the house into a trust four months ago. You're the trustee."
Mara blinked.
"And his parents?"
“They have no legal rights.”
A sense of relief washed over her.
"There's more," Bell added. "Your husband suspected they were emptying his company's accounts. He gathered evidence."
Mara whispered, "Start the video."
