“Kristen receives management authority through a separate entity.”
My stomach tightened.
“Which means?”
“If this worked, your son would have carried much of the debt.”
“And Kristen?”
“Would have controlled much of the transferred equity.”
I sat completely still.
Trevor thought he and his wife were stealing my company together.
The documents suggested Kristen had built the structure so that after the theft, she could take it from him too.
I almost felt sorry for him.
Almost.
Then I touched my bruised cheek.
No.
Being deceived by your wife does not make striking your mother thirty times understandable.
Different crimes.
Different responsibilities.
I looked at Detective Mills.
“I want every account frozen that can legally be frozen.”
“We're working on it.”
“Every property flagged.”
“Yes.”
“Every device preserved.”
“Yes.”
Then:
“And I want Martin questioned.”
The detective studied me.
“He already is.”
My breath stopped.
“What?”
Detective Mills looked at Daniel, then back at me.
