Chapter 16 - Michael Was Not Innocent of Everything

He was innocent of Rose’s scheme.

That did not mean he had been a good employer.

Michael had delegated everything.

Rose handled the household.

Helen handled daily operations.

His finance office paid invoices.

Security handled cameras.

He lived inside the mansion like a guest with ownership rights.

When staff disappeared, he asked Rose:

“What happened?”

She answered.

He accepted.

Grace stole.

Maria was careless.

Jordan drank.

Evelyn had attitude.

No curiosity.

Michael later told me:

“I thought paying extremely well meant people were protected.”

I answered:

“Money doesn’t protect you from the person who controls whether you keep getting it.”

He did not like that.

May you like

Neither did I.

Still true.
