Chapter 10 - The SecretTerrence confessed.
Years earlier, he had falsified documents to obtain better loan terms.
He had failed to report some income.
And there were questionable statements on a mortgage application.
Bessie felt sick.
“Why didn't you tell me?”

“She kept copies.”
Bessie understood immediately.
Lennox had been collecting ammunition.

James listened to Terrence's confession without judgment.
“This is serious,” he said.
“But it doesn't mean your life is over.”
Terrence looked terrified.
“What do I do?”
“Tell the truth before someone else tells it for you.”
So Terrence did.
He voluntarily disclosed everything.
