Betty was the first to recover, forcing an awkward little smile as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, now that you've got your autograph, can we please begin with the actual reason we're here?" Shawn's stern tone cut through the moment.
Betty's smile instantly dropped, and she shot him a glare sharp enough to make him wince.
Anna, meanwhile, was still trying to catch up with everything unfolding around her. But this wasn't the time to play spectator to their strange back-and-forth. She needed answers—real answers.
Taking a steadying breath, she leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table. "Did you find anything?" she asked, her eyes pinned hopefully on Shawn.
He gave a single nod.
Anna's pulse quickened. She held her breath, waiting.
"There were transactions made to Kathrine's account from one of your father's dummy accounts," Shawn said evenly. "The timing matches… right before she disappeared."
