Years earlier, Thomas had accidentally discovered that Raymond was quietly taking money from Margaret’s accounts.
He had tried to warn her.
But Margaret trusted her nephew and refused to believe the accusation.
When she eventually died with almost nothing, Raymond had walked away with far more money than anyone expected.
Thomas never forgot what had happened.
Years later, he learned that I had returned to town.
He also discovered that Raymond had started calling me regularly and asking questions about my finances.
Thomas understood what Raymond was planning.
“He knew?”
