Margaret testified against husband of forty-six years.
Richard stared at her.
She looked forward.
“When did you learn Emily was alive?”
“2018.”
“What did you do?”
“I concealed it.”
“Why?”
“Fear.”
“Of Emily?”
“No.”
“Of Richard?”
“Yes.”
“Of losing money?”
Margaret paused.
“Yes.”

She answered:
“I am not innocent because my husband was controlling.”
Daniel watched.
His mother had finally stopped outsourcing responsibility.
