Beneath it was a message.
MRS.
BENNETT, YOU DON’T KNOW ME.
BUT YOUR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW CONTACTED MY OFFICE TODAY AND ASKED ABOUT HAVING YOU DECLARED LEGALLY INCAPACITATED.
I stared at the screen.
Then another message appeared.
I REFUSED TO REPRESENT HER.
BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT SHE’S TRYING TO DO.
I read the words twice.
Vanessa had lost the folder.
She had lost Daniel’s cooperation.
She had lost access to my house.
And she still had not stopped.
I picked up Richard’s letter.
For the first time, I wasn’t afraid of what Vanessa might do next.
I was ready for her.
