Greg Miller, the corrupt notary, turned pale as chalk. He quietly tried to slide his briefcase off the table and edge toward the side exit.

“You coward!” Lorraine shrieked, turning on her own son with wild, vicious rage. “I did this for you! You were drowning in debt! You were going to go to prison for embezzling from your own firm!”

“Shut up, Mother!” Daniel screamed back, his face twisting in ugly panic. “You were the one who bought the sedatives online! You were the one who forged Evelyn’s signature on the corporate accounts!”

“Grandma, please!” Daniel dropped to his knees on the carpet, reaching out toward her with trembling hands. “I’m your grandson!”

“You’re a monster,” Margaret replied quietly, turning her back on him.
