– Me traicionaste.
Victor se rió suavemente.
“At eighty-six, betrayal requires more energy than I have.”
Agent Mercer approached cautiously.
Victor raised one hand.
“No hay necesidad de drama. Le pedí a Eleanor que me trajera la caja”.
Arthur frunció el ceño.
“¿Estabas trabajando con ella?”
“I was pretending to.”
Entregó los documentos al agente Mercer.
Eleanor looked around.
For the first time since appearing at my door, fear replaced confidence.
“You have nothing.”
Victor smiled.
“We have thirty-seven years of bank records.”
Arthur’s expression sharpened.
“And Margaret’s testimony.”
