Chapter 28

"You know Geoff?" I asked my dad as we sat at the dining table.

Geoff and I sat beside each other opposite to my dad and Sandra.

"Of course I do. Lots of successful cases."

I felt my chest inflate with pride. The cook filled our plates with food.

"So you married Sheila?" It was Sandra who asked this after chewing her first forkful.

"Sure, I did." Others would think he was being serious, but I heard the sarcasm in his voice. Sandra nodded, confirming my suspicion that she didn't notice the sarcasm.

"Just telling you, she's a nasty bitch."

"Sandra." My dad admonished.

"What? She is. After what she did to Ramara, she should be behind bars."

I was shocked that she knew about it.

"What did she do?" Geoff asked carefully, setting his fork down.

Oh no. I looked down at my plate, rolling the peas around.

"It's old news." I said.

"Tell me."

"Well, she almost sold Ramara out to the highest bidder just for a high."
