I wanted to slam the door in her face.
But I remembered the young woman who had saved my baby 37 years ago.
Finally, I said,
“I cannot forgive what you’ve done. But your daughter doesn’t deserve to suffer.”
The next morning, we visited a lawyer.
After examining the documents, he explained that Robert had arranged an extremely risky investment while concealing crucial information.
Then came an even worse discovery.
When I checked our financial records, I found that Robert had also tried to obtain a loan against our house without properly informing me.
He had endangered both families.
That evening, Robert returned.
Seeing Susan and me together, he froze.
“What is going on here?”
I looked straight into his eyes.
“Your two lies have finally met, Robert.”
He insisted everything was a misunderstanding.
But when Susan asked why he had hidden the financial risks from her daughter, he couldn’t answer.
