My sister laughed outside the courtroom and called me “legally stupid” while her attorney stood next to her, smiling with total confidence. Then I handed the judge my disciplinary board credentials… and suddenly the lawyer who had spent months threatening me realized he had built his entire case in front of the one person qualified to end his career.
My sister laughed in the courthouse hallway and said, “You’re legally stupid.”
Her lawyer smiled right beside her.
Then Vanessa leaned in close enough for me to smell her expensive perfume and whispered:
“I’m going to destroy you.”
