Chapter 22 - GEMMA RETURNS MONEYGemma sold a small investment account and returned $12,000 voluntarily.
Not everything she had received.
What she believed she could not justify.
She came to my attorney’s office.
“I’m sorry.”
I looked at her.
“For taking money?”
“For not wanting to know.”
Better.
She had suspected Andrew was moving money without asking me.
She never investigated because she needed help.
“I told myself you wouldn’t care.”
“I cared.”
“I know.”
She started crying.
“I thought because you had so much, taking a little from you was different.”
I nodded.
“That is exactly what everyone thought.”
She looked at me.
“Do you hate me?”
“No.”
“Will you forgive me?”
“I don’t know.”

She accepted that.
First Mercer who did.
