My husband brought his mistress into my hospital room hours after I gave birth. His mother sl.apped me so hard my newborn woke crying, then sneered, “Who will believe a paralyzed woman?”

“Grayson Urban Partners fired Victoria.”

I felt nothing.

“Why?”

“They found evidence she received confidential information from Julian.”

“Did they know?”

“They claim they did not.”

“Do we believe them?”

“Not yet.”

“What else?”

Sarah opened a file.

“Victoria has retained counsel.”

“Smart.”

“She wants to cooperate.”

I stared at her.

“With us?”

“With investigators.”

“Why?”

“Because Julian lied to her too.”

That almost made me laugh.

“About what?”

Sarah looked at Caroline.

Then at me.

“He told Victoria that Vance Development would belong to him if you became incapacitated.”

I closed my eyes.

Of course.

“He told her your marriage was essentially over.”

“Original.”

“He told her the trust could be dissolved.”

“It can’t.”

“I know.”

“He also told her he had an agreement giving him forty percent of the company.”
