“I documented every way you treated my wife over the years. The birthdays you valued more than her achievements. The money you borrowed and never returned. The emotional pressure you dressed up as family duty.”

Then Chen pulled out a folder.

“Mr. Bennett hired a private investigator to document several matters related to the protection of his wife’s estate and charitable foundation.”

Jessica shot to her feet.

Michael appeared on the screen.

My breath caught in my throat.

He was wearing the blue tie.

“Hello, Robert, Linda, and Jessica,” Michael said. “If you are watching this, then you have proven exactly who I always believed you were.”

My mother covered her mouth.

Michael continued.

“I watched you make Sarah feel small for fifteen years. She loved you too much to see it clearly. I did not.”

He held up receipts.

“Ten thousand dollars for Jessica’s wedding that was never repaid. Five thousand dollars for Robert’s failed business idea. The anniversary cruise we paid for. Thirty-seven thousand dollars over eight years.”

My father stared down at the table.
