Chapter Twenty-Four
“The bitch foundout about her grandma. Damnit. Can’t you do anything right?” he said.
“Why’re you always blaming me? She probably got a letter from the law firm on a day that I was away. She thinks she’s so clever. I knew something was up when the lawyer canceled my appointment.”
“We’ll have to go with plan B.” He went over to the window and looked out.
“Damn right. There’s no fucking way I’m letting her get all that money. I’ve had to stay in this godforsaken town and now it’s payday.”
“She must know something’s up. Do you think she’s suspicious of us? I’m sure the lawyer told her someone made an appointment pretending to be her.”
“I was so careful with the damn mail. I can’t believe she found out. It would’ve been much simpler if she hadn’t. She thinks she’s something with her new apartment, job, and biker boyfriend. I’m sure she got some money from the law firm. Fuck.”
“Let her think she’s got us fooled. It’s when they’re cocky that they put down their defenses. And I need a new car,” he said as he looked at his parked in the driveway.
“That fucking cunt has been more trouble than she’s worth. I’ve had to put up with so much shit.”
He sighed. “I know. Pretty soon it’ll be over. Did you already open an account in her name at Bank of the Rockies?”
“Yeah, I’m on top of things. Don’t worry about me. The only problem we have is Diablo. I’m not sure she told him about the money. I still don’t know what he sees in her.”
“Why’re you so obsessed with that? Are you mad that he gave attention to Fallon and not to you?”
“Fuck off.”
“Anyway, we got a couple weeks before she turns twenty-two, and I want to make sure we’re all set.” He turned away from the window and sat in one of the chairs in the master bedroom.
“We will be.”
“It’s about time the bitch paid off.” He laughed.
