they were about to learn they'd only written the beginning in her room ingred sat crossed like on her bed multiple screens open before her she'd Always been quiet observant learning from both her parents strengths and weaknesses from her father she'd learned patience and precision from her mother she'd learned that trust once broken could never truly be repaired her fingers moved across the keyboard setting up new monitoring protocols creating alerts for any mention of their names online she protected her father once she would continue to protect him no matter what came next and something Was coming

she could feel it in the way her father moved through the house now in the steel beneath his calm words Roland Livingston was planning something and ingred knew whatever it was would change everything in another part of town Brenda sat in Scott's luxury apartment her mascara streak with tears of Rage he did this she snarled clutching her phone Roland did this to humiliate us Scott paced the room his own phone buzzing constantly with Messages from business partners and angry Associates no your brat of a daughter did this and you're going to fix it how she's

the money you stole from our daughter or perhaps about how you thought you'd Never get caught don't act Superior with me Roland Brenda's voice dripped with disdain you were always so wrapped up in your work so focused on your precious reputation what did you expect now Roland did turn his dark eyes fixing on her with an intensity that made her step back what did I expect loyalty perhaps basic decency but then again those Concepts might be too complex for someone who measures worth in designer labels I want a quick divorce Brenda Declared trying to regain

her composure Scott's lawyer Scott's lawyers Roland's laugh was sharp the same Scott Costa who's currently watching his business Partnerships crumble because of his exposed Affair that's Scott Brenda's face flushed you have no proof of anything it's all circumstantial and you know it is it Roland pulled out his phone bringing up screenshots shs of Bank transfers like these transfers from ing's trust fund to your private account The one you thought I didn't know about for the first time uncertainty flickered across Brenda's face how did you you're not as clever as you think you are Brenda neither
