Adeline slapped the phone right out of my hand. It clattered to the floor. "You know damn well my brother's traveling overseas and can't answer his phone!" she shrieked. "That's the only reason you dare accuse him!"
Peggy kicked the phone across the room. "Your debt, your problem. Who else is going to pay it if not you?"
Right then, the front door slammed open with a bang.
Alex Swanson stormed in, face twisted with fury. "Ronald Mason, you're a piece of garbage! A hundred million dollars in debt!"
Adeline threw herself into his arms. "Alex, he even has the nerve to say my brother's the one who borrowed the money."
Alex kissed the top of her head. "Why don't you just come stay at my place? If those debt collectors show up again, what if they scare you and our baby?"
When he saw the shock on my face, Alex let out a mocking laugh. "What's so surprising? Where did you think Adeline went every time you were away on business?"
"She was at my place. She's slept in my bed more times than she's ever slept in yours."
After calling me garbage one more time, he took Adeline by the hand, and the three of them walked out of my home without a backward glance.
