He reached for the folder.
I pulled it away.
“Don’t.”
His eyes narrowed.
“Vanessa, you’re making a mistake.”
“Maybe. That’s why I asked the bank to review the application.”
Nancy stood abruptly.
“I think we should leave.”
Alex looked at her.
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
She didn’t answer.
I turned to Rachel, who had arrived a few minutes earlier at my invitation and was waiting near the hallway.
“Rachel, would you please explain why you contacted me about New Beginnings Holdings?”
Sean spun around.
“You invited her here?”
“Yes.”
Rachel stepped into the room.
“I didn’t come to make accusations. I came because Vanessa deserves to understand what happened to her money.”
She placed a document on the table.
It showed a transfer of $60,000 from an account associated with my inheritance into an account connected to New Beginnings Holdings. The remaining $26,000 had come from savings shared by Sean and me, according to the preliminary information Rachel had seen.
