He said she needed \u2018growth exposure.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"52\">Tiffany\u2019s eyes filled with something like shame.

But don\u2019t forget, half my life was spent with you. I know everything about you. Your company. Your clients. Your weaknesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"61\">\u201cNo,\u201d I said softly. \u201cYou knew the woman who loved you. She gave you access.

He glanced down, then looked at the road behind Robert. A police cruiser turned into the lane. Behind it came another car. Mr. Vance\u2019s car.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"72\">Robert saw them and stepped back. \u201cWhat is this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"73\">\u201cProtection,\u201d I said. \u201cFor me.
