My blood froze.
Brittany returned to the room.
“What happens if Emily already called the lawyer?”
“Then we make Ethan believe she is after the money,” Teresa replied. “He always chooses us when we make him feel guilty.”
Kayla laughed.
“What if she tells him we’ve been using the cards?”
“He won’t believe her.”
The footage jumped forward.
Emily entered the living room, demanding they leave the bedroom.
Brittany seized her arm.
Teresa stepped close enough that her face filled the screen.
“You will sign those papers,” she said. “Everything Ethan has belongs to this family. You and that baby are not taking it.”
Emily’s voice trembled. “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
“You know enough to become a problem.”
Then my mother ordered my pregnant wife to clean the kitchen.
Not because it needed cleaning.
Because she wanted to humiliate her.
I watched all twenty-seven minutes.
