I thought I would cry.
I didn’t.
I felt empty.
Then Martin slid another document toward me.
“There’s more.”
I almost laughed.
“Of course there is.”
“The credit cards weren’t the reason I asked you to come in.”
He turned the paper around.
It was related to the Cedar Ridge title history.
“When Vanguard’s attorneys completed their post-closing review, they found an old recorded document associated with the property.”
“What document?”
“A lien release.”
I frowned.
“From my divorce?”
“No.”
He looked at me carefully.
“From before you owned the house.”
I stared at him.
“I don’t understand.”
“Your father owned an interest in that property.”
I blinked.
“No. My ex and I bought it.”
“You bought it from a trust.”
“Yes.”
“Your father controlled that trust.”
My mouth went dry.
“That’s impossible.”
“It’s documented.”
Martin opened another file.
The house had originally been purchased as an investment through a holding trust.
