Chapter 18

Her meeting with Hal had to be postponed. The man had been out of the country and wouldn’t be returning till after Jamie’s cast was off. In the meantime, Charity set her work for Pinnacle on hold and went after Haunch, Margaret’s so-called boyfriend.

He’d eagerly returned her call the day after she had left the message with his wife. She got straight to the point with him.

“Haunch. This is Doctor Charity Thompson-Bennet.”

“Yes?” The man sounded confused on the phone. “I thought I was contacting an art gallery.”

“No. I spoke with your wife yesterday.”

“She told me.”

“I’m Margaret Bennet’s daughter-in-law.” Her long doctor name had confused him and he had missed the Bennet part.

“Oh. Ohhh.”

The silence on the phone that followed showed Charity the man understood why she had called. “I’m going to politely ask you to cancel all contracts with Margaret, and send all contracts with closure to her lawyer here in New York. I’ve had a moving company pack your belongings up from her house in New Zealand. If you send me a fax number, I can send you the location to pick them up. If they aren’t claimed in thirty days, they are delivered to a local goodwill charity shop.” She couldn’t stop the smug smile on her face. “You will have no contact with Margaret, everything will be done through our lawyer’s firm here in New York. You fucked with the wrong family.”

“I... uh... I.” Silence again followed on the phone. He hadn’t hung up, the rat just didn’t have anything to say.

“Follow everything as requested by the lawyers and we’ll not mention anything to your wife, or the authorities in America, or New Zealand. This is your one off chance at a get out of jail free card. Don’t screw it up.”

“I... see. Yes. I’ll make sure I get everything done on my end.”

“Is your wife beside you?”

“At the moment, yes.”

“Our—Margaret’s lawyers will be in contact with you. Thirty days, Haunch. Don’t forget.”

“I won’t.”

Charity grinned as she hung up. She couldn’t wait to tell Margaret, and Elijah, she’d taken care of Raunchy the Haunch. She’d told her dad about the situation and he’d quietly insisted to contact his top notch lawyers. In fact, they’d taken care of everything yesterday afternoon and sent Charity exactly what she needed to tell him. They’d be in contact with him later today.

Charity smiled. All in a day’s work.

The remainder of the week flew by as Charity focused on helping Jamie and taking her back and forth to the hospital for X-rays and checkups. With the all clear, Dr. Bailey removed Jamie’s cast and suggested a removable brace for the next month. The brace would be custom fit and it would allow Jamie movement without the risk of re-injury while the bone finished healing. It meant she could take it off in the tub and he also suggested some pool rehab. Charity and Elijah agreed. The non-weight bearing activity would be perfect for Jamie. Plus, she loved water!

As the next week flew by, Charity spent her mornings at the pool and intense rehab for little Jamie.
