Dumping My Ex For His Uncle novel · Chapter 24 of 32
Chapter 24: Under Oath
The doors at the back opened.
Sadie came up the aisle in a gray suit that was too big in the shoulders.
No gold stud.
No anchor.
A woman in her fifties walked beside her with a briefcase, her own lawyer, and kept one hand near Sadie's elbow the whole way.
Ellis turned around in his chair.
Sadie didn't look at him.
She swore to tell the truth in a voice so small the clerk asked her to say it again.
Tilly's lawyer didn't waste time.
He played the gate camera clip on the screen.
The pier at 5:10 a.m.
The hooded jacket.
The paper bag.
The hood slipping under the light.
"Is that you, Ms. Ruark?"
Sadie nodded.
"Out loud, please."
"Yes," she said. "That's me."
"What was in the bag?"
"A bottle of rye."
"Where did you get it?"
"A gas station on Key Highway." She swallowed. "He gave me the money."
"Who did?"
She looked at Ellis for the first time.
He was shaking his head at her, very slightly.
"Ellis," she said. "He told me which pier. He told me which boat. He said the wheelhouse had a drawer under the charts and nobody locks a tug."
