I hung up on her.

The legal battle dragged on for eight months.

Carter was the first one to crack. When the prosecutors showed him the bank records, the texts, and his own signed confession, he started sweating like crazy.

First he claimed his mom made him do it, but the records showed he’d used the money for gambling debts and a fancy apartment in Denver. Realizing he was going to prison for a long time, he turned on his mother.

He admitted everything to the judge. He confessed that Reagan stole my passwords and gave him the key to my apartment. He said she blocked my dad from seeing me by telling him I hated him.

He even admitted that when my dad got suspicious, Reagan took his phone away and told the doctors he was just confused from his medication.
