Chapter 8 - RICHARD CHOOSES A SIDERyan didn't want to read Margaret's evidence.
Then he saw the police report.
He remembered being three years old.
He remembered hiding in a closet.
He remembered believing his father was a monster.
Now he understood.
His mother had lied.
For thirty years.
Ryan called his father.
Richard came over that evening.
He looked at the evidence.
Then he looked at his son.
"I knew."
Ryan stared at him.
"I knew somewhere inside me that I hadn't hit her."
Richard's voice broke.
"But I let her convince me I was a monster."
Then he turned toward Olivia.
His granddaughter.
"Not again."
Richard promised to help.
He had payroll records.
Schedules.
GPS data.
And proof that the two witnesses had never been at Diane's house.
