“I am controlled.”
There was a difference.
At eight, Evelyn called.I answered.
Claire raised an eyebrow.
I put the call on speaker.
Evelyn did not greet me.
“What did you give my son?”
“A medical report.”
“What does it mean?”
“You read English.”
“Do not be insolent.”
I almost laughed.
“You handed me eighty million dollars and ordered me to disappear.”
“I was trying to avoid an ugly situation.”
“You created one.”
“No.”
Her voice sharpened.
“Adrian created one.”
That surprised me.
For the first time, there was anger in her voice toward him.
Then she continued.
“But this medical report is nonsense.”
“Take it up with the clinic.”
“Adrian says the test was wrong.”
“Then he should repeat it.”
There was silence.
I could hear Bianca crying in the background.
Then Evelyn lowered her voice.
“Where are you?”
“That is no longer your concern.”
“You are still my daughter-in-law.”
