“Not if it’s someone she loves and trusts, and she doesn’t want to find out they’ve betrayed her. We tend to bury our heads in the sand when reality is too much for us to take.”
Cam didn’t know how to respond to that. It was an option he hadn’t even considered. There were very few people in Grace’s life she truly loved. Maybe her parents, though he doubted it. And then there was her best friend, Sage, who had just married Cam’s brother Spence. Grace couldn’t be protecting her parents. They were wealthy, far too wealthy to need to embezzle the sums being stolen here. Yes, the total amount added up to a couple of million dollars, but that was chump change to them.
And Cam refused to believe it could be Sage. She was an incredible woman, in training to become a surgeon just like Cam’s brother. No. There had to be another explanation.
“I have to go, Dad.” He stood up and moved toward the door.
“Where are you off to in such a hurry?” Martin asked as he followed Cam from the office.
“I’m going to see Grace,” he said, determination in each stride. “It’s time for a showdown.”
“What’s your plan?” Martin asked before he got in the car.
“I’ll think of one on the way.”
Her time of fighting him was over. That was all he knew for sure.
