“They were.”
“You told me they had completed diligence.”
“They said they had.”
“They found the trust clause.”
Vanessa stopped.
Just for a fraction of a second.
Ethan saw it.
His stomach turned.
“You knew.”
“No.”
“You knew something.”
She closed the suitcase.
“Ethan, your wife just removed you from your own company. I’m not staying here while you decide which woman to blame.”
He grabbed her wrist.
Vanessa looked down at his hand.
Then up at him.
“Let go.”
“Tell me what you knew.”
Her voice became very calm.
“Let go.”
Something in it made him release her.
She picked up the suitcase.
“You should call your lawyer.”
“My lawyer was in that room.”
“Then call a different one.”
She moved toward the door.
Ethan stepped in front of her.
“Where are you going?”
“Miami.”
“With who?”
Vanessa laughed once.
“You really think that matters right now?”
He stared at her.
