“My lawyer is handling it.”
Godfrey eventually became impatient.
“I have an opportunity to expand the shop. If we’re talking about family investments, I could turn a hundred thousand into three hundred.”
I smiled.
“Maybe.”
That single word kept him talking.
He showed me his business records because he wanted to prove what a good investment he was. Selina produced property documents because she wanted me to consider expanding the house. They gave Arthur more evidence in one week than I could have found in months.
Then Godfrey made the mistake that broke everything open.
He brought me a spreadsheet.
“This is basically where your money went.”
I studied it.
House renovations.
Vehicle.
Business capital.
Household expenses.
There was no meaningful medical spending for Phedra.
At the bottom was a line labeled Phedra Personal — $18,400.
“What is this?”
Godfrey shrugged.
“Money she wasted.”
Phedra had never received it.
Arthur traced the transactions.
