I had signed some without reading every page.
“Oh, God.”
“Did you sign anything that gave him control over the trust?”
I couldn’t answer immediately.
Then I remembered the evening Garrett had brought me warm milk and sat beside me while I reviewed a stack of documents. He had kissed my forehead and told me to stop worrying about business.
I had signed three pages.
Tobias’s face tightened.
“We’ll have to assume he has enough authority to cause damage. But not enough to keep it once we find the original records.”
“Why would he need to kill me tonight?”
“Because the independent trustees were scheduled to review the company’s ownership structure tomorrow morning. Garrett knew that if they discovered the hidden accounts, he could lose everything. And if you were dead, he’d have a much easier time claiming control.”
I pressed my hands against my mouth.
“And Penelope?”
Tobias looked away.
