“He cannot sell, mortgage, or transfer that property without legal authority that he simply does not possess,” Samantha stated confidently.

“Did he actually try to do that?” I asked, feeling a chill run down my spine.

There was another brief pause on the line.

“That is one of the important topics we need to discuss in person tomorrow.”

After we hung up the phone, I finally played the voicemail message that Gavin had left for me earlier.

His voice sounded rough and desperate over the speaker.
