Meanwhile, Trevor was learning practical lessons without my money to soften them.

Howard forwarded a letter from Trevor’s attorney confirming that he had moved into a small apartment and taken a job with a property maintenance company.

The letter also included a proposed repayment schedule for expenses he had improperly charged to Cedarline.

It was modest and would take years to finish.

I signed the agreement only after Howard confirmed it did not weaken my rights.

The first payment was seventy-five dollars.
