“Especially the part about dividing my property.”
Vanessa began stumbling over her explanation.
“We—we were told—”
“By whom?”

“You found papers in my office, didn’t you?”
Again, Vanessa said nothing.
“Those weren’t my final documents.”
Grant cursed quietly in the background. Dad remained composed as he delivered the information they clearly hadn’t expected.
