Because a confrontation accomplishes nothing except to warn your enemy.

The moment I let Julian or Tessa see that I had uncovered the scheme, everything would change: they would destroy records, rebuild the paper trail, hire lawyers, restructure the accounts, and above all make certain that the fall guy they had spent six years positioning actually took the fall.

My confrontation would have felt satisfying for about ninety seconds, and then it would have handed them everything they needed to bury me.

So I swallowed it.
