Grant’s attorney noticed my expression.
“You withheld information from your own daughter.”
“Yes,” Julian said.
“Why?”
“Federal investigators believed disclosure could compromise the case.”
“So the Bellamy family sacrifices honesty whenever power requires it.”
My father took a breath.
“He was served publicly because the fraudulent meeting he requested was public.”
“You smiled.”
“Yes.”
“So you experienced satisfaction.”
“I experienced relief.”
“From destroying your husband?”
“From no longer pretending his choices were my responsibility.”
Delaney testified for two days.
She described the affair.
The shell companies.
The altered power of attorney.
Grant’s plan to provoke me at the gala.
His promise to marry her after securing the Palm Beach property.
The defense showed romantic messages in which Delaney expressed excitement about the money.
She admitted everything.
“You wanted Mrs. Holloway’s life,” Grant’s attorney said.
“I wanted what Grant told me her life was.”
“What does that mean?”
