- Then who?
Jake took out another document.
- Richard.
My breath was cut off.
- My husband?
Two days before he died.
The payment was real.
At least the document appeared to indicate a transfer from an account associated to Richard to Linda.
But Jake himself admitted that he did not know the reason.
“My mother thought for a long time that it was payment for silence.
- About what?
That's what I was trying to find out.
For the first time I understood the phone conversation I had heard last night.
Who were you talking to?
- Jake pal.
— With the Mother's lawyer.
One of the men who came with Sarah raises her hand.
- With me.
I looked at him.
And “the old woman still knows nothing”?
Jake closed his eyes.
It was a terrible wording.
- That's what you think?
I was talking about not telling you yet who I was. And when I said that “in a few days everything will be over”, I was referring to the search for the documents.
