“Before we exchange partners, I want to know why someone applied to borrow $240,000 against our home.”
Nobody spoke.
Nancy’s face lost its color.
Alex slowly turned toward her.
“What is she talking about?”
Sean stood up.
“This is a private matter between my wife and me.”
“Then explain it to your wife,” I replied. “Because I certainly don’t remember agreeing to that loan.”
He reached for the folder.
I pulled it away.
“Don’t.”
His eyes narrowed.
“Vanessa, you’re making a mistake.”
“Maybe. That’s why I asked the bank to review the application.”
Nancy stood abruptly.
“I think we should leave.”
Alex looked at her.
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
She didn’t answer.
I turned to Rachel, who had arrived a few minutes earlier at my invitation and was waiting near the hallway.
“Rachel, would you please explain why you contacted me about New Beginnings Holdings?”
Sean spun around.
