I held his gaze.
“You keep saying that as though hiding things from me was a favor.””
He opened his mouth, then closed it.
I took a breath.
“Did you know your mother from me was a favor.””

I sat up.
“Why are you calling me?””
“Because I saw your name in some of the financing documents, and I think you need to knowbridge.””
I sat up.
“Why are you calling me?””
“Because I saw your name in some of the financing documents, and I think you need to know what happened before the application was submitted.””
I gripped the phone.
“What do you know?””
Rebecca hesitated.
“I was the company's finance manager. I resigned three weeks ago because I what happened before the application was submitted.””
I gripped the phone.
“What do you know?””
Rebecca hesitated.
“I was the company's finance manager. I resigned three weeks ago because I refused to approve a payment I couldn't justify.””

“He told me the payment had already been agreed with his mother and that I should process it.””
I closed my eyes.
“What happened when you agreed with his mother and that I should process it.””
I closed my eyes.
“What happened when you refused?””
“He removed my access to the financing records the following morning. A week later, I resigned.””
I swallowed.
“Why are you telling me refused?””
“He removed my access to the financing records the following morning. A week later, I resigned.””
I swallowed.
“Why are you telling me this now?””
“Because I heard that the bank is reviewing the application. I don't want to be accused of hiding something I knew about.””

“Because I heard that the bank is reviewing the application. I don't want to be accused of hiding something I knew about.””
I appreciated her honesty, but I wasn't going to treat a phone call as proof.
“Would you be willing to provide your records to my attorney?””
“Yes. I kept going to treat a phone call as proof.

My stomach tightened.
“What payment?””
“A transfer to an account connected to someone in Ethan's family. I couldn't verify the beneficiary, and that's why I refused to approve it.””
I sat perfectly still.
“Do you know whose account it was?””
“I have a reference number couldn't verify the beneficiary, and that's why I refused to approve it.””
I sat perfectly still.
“Do you know whose account it was?””
“I have a reference number. Your attorney can request the records.””

She gave me the reference number and promised to send a written statement through counsel.
