Daniel’s face reddened.

“What did you do?”

“And Franklin contacted the bank.”

“You can’t—”

“I already did.”

Daniel stepped toward Robert.

He stopped.

Daniel pointed toward his father.

“You’re going to destroy my business over a misunderstanding?”

“You took ninety-one thousand five hundred dollars.”

“I told you. It was temporary.”

“You misled my financial adviser.”

“I was saving my company.”

“With my retirement money.”

“I would have paid it back.”

“Next month?”

“Next year?”
