How a Single Bottle of Vintage Wine Exposed My Husbands Entire Conspiracy
The medical files had been kept in a locked drawer in that desk.
Only two keys existed for that drawer.
One was on my key ring.
The other had been in my father’s safe-deposit box, to which only I had the key after his passing.
I looked up at Evan, my eyes narrowing as the pieces began to align in my mind.
“Where did you get those files, Evan?” I asked, my voice firmer than I expected.
Evan laughed, a short, dry sound that echoed off the hardwood floor.
“Does it matter?” he asked.
“They are real, Claire.”
“Your signature is on the release forms.”
“You broke into the estate study,” I said, staring directly into his blue eyes.
“The estate is locked, Evan.”
“The probate court sealed the house three weeks ago.”
Vivian cleared her throat, adjusting her pearl necklace with a swift, nervous movement.
“The house belongs to the family, Claire,” Vivian said.
“Evan had every right to retrieve his personal belongings.”
“My medical records are not his personal belongings,” I said.
Lydia glanced down at her watch, then back to Evan’s phone.
