Lara Crawford’s mouth was set in a sneer. Her crooked nose did nothing to soften her appearance. Nor did her power suit or the strand of expensive pearls she wore around her neck.
“Is it my lucky day?” she crooned. “Dolphin Bay’s famous husband killer is here to see me.”
“Stop that nonsense,” Julie snapped. She turned to Anna and tipped her head. “Go on, Anna.”
Anna placed the letter she had received before Lara.
“Why was my application rejected?”
Lara rolled her eyes.
“Vendor licensing is not in my purview.”
“This is your signature, Lara,” Anna pointed out. “Do you deny that?”
“I sign dozens of documents in a day,” Lara drawled. “But I am not always the decision maker.”
“You know what Anna has been through, Lara,” Mary said softly. “Have a heart.”
“You mean how she’s roaming scot free after killing her husband?” Lara asked with relish. “I wouldn’t know.”
“You are crossing the line, Lara,” Julie warned. She took Anna’s hand in hers and gave it a squeeze. “The police could never establish what happened to John.”
“But I know,” Lara pounced, flinging a finger at Anna. “She killed him in cold blood.”
