I answered with perfect confidence, “The System’s gone, so of course I’m running!”
He gave a cold laugh and tossed a thick stack of bills at me. “Every cent you spent all these years was money I transferred to you.”
“That server your son used to hack my company’s firewall? I deliberately left a back door.”
“At kindergarten, your son bragged that his dad was the richest man in the country, and I was his mom.”
