He has also been speaking to a physician about my medical condition.
I am afraid.
But I have kept copies of everything.
Please trust your aunt.
Please never let him convince you that I abandoned you.
I love you more than anything.
Samuel paused.
Emma covered her face.

Beneath it was a second list.
Different dates.
Different amounts.
But the same account number.
Samuel examined the records.
“These payments continued after Caroline died.”
Emma nodded.
“My mother said there was another person helping him.”
“Who?”
Emma looked at the final page.
There was a name written at the bottom.
**Evelyn Mercer.**
I stared at the screen when Samuel showed me the photograph.
Evelyn.
My former chief financial officer.
The woman who had helped me build my company.
The woman who had introduced me to several major investors.
