“Take the $80 million and leave my son,” Victoria Bennett, 64, said coldly. “His secretary has given him twins. You have no reason to stay.”
Claire stared at her.
“My husband has twins...

I read the screen twice.
Then I looked at Ryan.
He was staring back at me from the rear cabin.
For the first time in our marriage, he looked uncertain.
I closed the tablet.
“Do not confront him,” Captain Foster said quietly. “We’ll document the onboard incident. Operations will handle the corporate issue after landing.”

“She has nothing.”
His wife, Claire Miller, 35, sat quietly beside her attorney.

I called my mother again.
“Lock every door. A deputy is coming.”
She didn’t argue.
That scared me more than panic would have.

His shoulders dropped.
“You found Margaret’s note.”
“Yes.”
He looked toward Linda’s house.
Her blinds moved.
Barely.
Walter noticed that too.
“May I explain?”
I opened the door but kept the storm door between us.
Sophie was upstairs.
I wanted it that way.
Walter lifted the metal box.
“This is what I was digging up.”
“What is it?”
