Chapter 9 - THE WOMAN WHO REFUSED HIS MONEY
Alexander offered Claire a house.
A trust fund.
Private security.
A monthly allowance large enough to support several families.
Rebecca presented the proposal.
Claire read it carefully.
Then shook her head.
“No.”
Rebecca looked up.
“You don't want financial support?”
Claire smiled faintly.
“I want appropriate support for Evelyn.”
She pointed toward the document.
“But I don't want Alexander deciding where I live or who works for me.”
Rebecca nodded.
“Understood.”
Claire continued.
“I want a fair settlement.”
A pause.
“And I want him to stop treating money like an apology.”

Rebecca smiled.
“That's something we can put into the negotiations.”
