Chapter 7 - RICHARD'S SIGNATURE

Richard had signed the lender’s family-support letter.

That hurt Claire more than Tyler.

It said:

Our daughter Claire holds legal title for family convenience following a financial restructuring.

Family convenience.

Claire confronted him.

“That’s not why I own the house.”

Richard looked ashamed.

“I was trying to help Tyler qualify.”

“You told a lender I hold title for convenience.”

“I didn’t understand the wording.”

“You signed it.”

“I trusted Tyler.”

Claire laughed once.

“Everyone keeps trusting the person who wants something.”

Richard did not defend himself after that.

For the first time, he looked afraid of what the family had become.
