Chapter 7 - GRACE’S RED NOTEBOOK Grace kept everything in a red notebook.
Dates.
Bank transfers.
Names.
License plates.
Phone numbers.
Even conversations she had overheard.
Adrienne turned the pages slowly.
“You did all this?”
Grace nodded.
“I knew something was wrong.”
“Why risk yourself?”
Grace looked toward Marcus sleeping in the chair.
“Because your mother gave my son a home when nobody else would.”
Adrienne found one entry circled three times.
September 14.
STERLING — R. VANCE — HOLLIS.
“Who’s Hollis?”
Grace hesitated.
“Your chief financial officer.”
Adrienne stopped breathing.
Daniel Hollis had worked beside her for eleven years.
He knew every account.
Every weakness.
Every secret.
