Chapter 14 - GRANT FINALLY ADMITTED WHAT HE DIDGrant’s version was infuriating because he believed himself.
“I kept Thomas alive.”
True partly.
“I protected Claire and Evelyn.”
Sometimes.
“I kept the company stable.”
For a while.
Then:
“And you decided stability entitled you to forge my future.”
He looked away.
“I didn’t forge your signature.”
“No.”
“You designed the transaction that required someone to.”
Silence.
That mattered.
He admitted intercepting letters.
Diverting calls.
Convincing Thomas that contact endangered me long after the immediate threat had decreased.
Why?
At first safety.
Later control.
Then habit.
Then money.
That progression was the tragedy.
He did not wake up evil.
He kept choosing the easier lie.
Until the lie owned decades.
Legal consequences followed.
Civil fraud.
Fiduciary breaches.
Potential criminal exposure tied to forged filings and conspiracy.
No instant sentencing.
May you like
No revenge.
Just process.
