But there was something even worse.
The lawyer found that some documents George believed he had signed months ago were not exactly what Lauren had explained to him.
George prepares his own play
George decided to pretend he knew nothing.
For several days he acted normally.
I was smiling.
I was talking to Lauren.
She even allowed her to believe that she was still completely trusting her.
But in the meantime, his children and his lawyer were working.
Finally came the day Lauren took some documents to George.
“You just have to sign here,” he said.
George took the pen.
Lauren smiled.
But he left the document on the table.
I want to ask you a question before.
“Sure.
Do you love me?
Lauren kept quiet for a few seconds.
Then he smiled.
“Of course.
George looked her straight in the eye.
“Then explain to me why you’ve been trying to stay with my properties for months.
Lauren's face changed.
What are you talking about?
At that moment, Sarah entered the room accompanied by the lawyer.
Lauren realized that everything had been discovered.
An unexpected confession
The discussion ended up revealing the truth.
Lauren had seen George an economic opportunity.
His goal had not been to build a life together, but to secure a privileged position before he died.
George heard everything in silence.
What hurt him the most was not to discover his intentions.
It was to realize how long he had ignored the warnings of his children.
Lauren finally left the house.
George initiated the appropriate legal proceedings to protect his assets and regain control of his financial affairs.
But he still had an outstanding debt.
With Emily.
