“Yes.
Emily continued:
“I also heard someone asked if the will was already changed.
George felt the heart begin to beat him tightly.
His will.
That was precisely what Lauren had insisted on modifying over the past few months.
Lauren’s True Intention
George had thought Lauren wanted to make sure everything was in order.
But Emily had more information.
“I heard something else,” he said.
What?
“Mrs. Lauren mentioned a man named Daniel.
George recognized the name.
Daniel was the lawyer Lauren had recommended to review some documents.
“He said Daniel already knew what to do,” Emily continued. And he also said that after you signed some papers, everything would be much easier.
George slowly got up from his chair.
For months, Lauren had insisted that she needed to update legal documents.
I had even come to tell him:
At our age, we must leave everything organized.
Now those words had a completely different meaning.
The trap
George decided not to confront Lauren.
Instead, he quietly called Sarah.
Her daughter came to the house the next day.
For the first time in a long time, father and daughter spoke without arguing.
George told him everything.
Sarah wasn’t as surprised as he expected.
“Dad… that’s why we were trying to protect you.
But George still needed proof.
With the help of an independent lawyer, he reviewed his accounts, his documents and the modifications Lauren had attempted to make.
Then they discovered something disturbing.
Lauren had been trying to gain control over several of her properties and accounts.
In addition, he had made inquiries regarding the sale of one of the houses that George had inherited from his parents.
But there was something even worse.
The lawyer found that some documents George believed he had signed months ago were not exactly what Lauren had explained to him.
George prepares his own play
George decided to pretend he knew nothing.
For several days he acted normally.
I was smiling.
I was talking to Lauren.
She even allowed her to believe that she was still completely trusting her.
But in the meantime, his children and his lawyer were working.
Finally came the day Lauren took some documents to George.
“You just have to sign here,” he said.
George took the pen.
Lauren smiled.
But he left the document on the table.
I want to ask you a question before.
“Sure.
Do you love me?
