“That’s too bad.”
“Well, not entirely. Apparently, when Angie found out about Christine’s involvement with Greg, he counseled her to protect herself from the potential danger of what eventually happened. Unbeknownst to Christine, her name had been removed from all the holdings. She’s dead broke and has no way to pay for the house, the car, or even an attorney of her own, unless her father sobers up to do it for her.”
“Wow, talk about karma!”
“Indeed. And there’s more. Angie formed a trust about a week before she was killed. The bulk of her money goes to Cecilia James’ animal rescue, and believe me, Cecilia won’t be asking for donations for a very long time to come. That’s not all, she also left some money to you, Lucy. She told the lawyer that you’d been a friend to her through thick and thin, and she knew the likelihood of you and Mark getting a divorce. She wanted you to write that book and not have to worry about money for a while as you did it. So, you’re all set, my girl.”
Lucy gasped and the tears bulged. “Oh my gosh! Are you serious? Why the hell was she pleading poverty?” Brendon shrugged. “I guess that part will always remain an unsolved mystery.”
“Who knows. Stop looking a gift-horse in the mouth and accept the money. Now all we have to do is give her a good send off. I hear you’ve got all the funeral sorted.”
Lucy got up, walked around the desk. Not caring who saw, she kissed him full on the lips. “I have. Everyone has chipped in. I’ll miss her, there’s no doubting that. Here’s to the future, our future.”
