I was wrong.
You were the only person who ever challenged him without wanting anything from him. When you left, I understood why. I also understood that Tyler would eventually face a choice no child should ever have to make.
I have created a trust for you and Tyler. The money is yours to protect your future, and his to access when he becomes legally entitled to it under the trust’s terms.
But the money is not the real gift.
The real gift is the evidence I have preserved.
If Harrison ever attempts to use Tyler to gain control of my estate, ask Margaret to show you the sealed file.
Trust the woman who raised my grandson, even if my own son tells you otherwise.
Richard.
I lowered the letter.
For several seconds, I couldn’t speak.
“Why didn’t he tell me about this before he died?”
“Because the trust contains more than money,” Margaret replied. “Richard believed your former husband might try to challenge it if he discovered its full purpose.”
