Andrew did the math and said, “About seventeen million.”
Amelia’s eyes widened in shock. “How much?”
Andrew adjusted his glasses, looking as calm as ever. “That’s my conservative guess.”
He’d already checked out the Adlee family’s finances on his way over. Seventeen million dollars—if they sold everything, they might just barely cover it.
The thought of paying Andrew’s legal fees already made Amelia’s heart ache.
“Ms. Sadinton, I’ve filed your divorce petition with the court,” Andrew said. He’d seen all the headlines about the Salmeron family scandal blowing up online.
With something like this coming out right now, he could pretty much guess what was happening behind the scenes.
He gave Amelia a look that carried a hint of sympathy.
“Caroline’s scandal happened at just the right time. Clive’s reputation has been crashing lately,” Andrew analyzed. “This gives you a real advantage for getting custody of the kids.”
Thinking about her children—especially Penny—Amelia’s eyes grew dim.
Andrew dropped her off at the gate to her building. She said goodbye and headed up alone.
She had barely walked inside before her phone rang. It was Timmy.
He should have been asleep by now.
Worried, Amelia picked up right away. “Sweetheart, why are you still up?”
Just hearing her voice seemed to calm Timmy down.
He sounded groggy, his voice quiet. “Mom, are you okay? I heard someone tried to throw acid at you. Dad said he protected you, but Aunt Kristen got hurt.”
Amelia hadn’t expected the news to reach the kids so fast.
