Summary
On the day my adoptive father, Claude Bolton, is buried, my biological parents, along with the fake heiress, Gwen Walton, force their way into the funeral hall to pressure me into signing a statement of forgiveness.
They say Gwen is about to be recommended for graduate school, so she can't afford to have a disciplinary record for driving a mechanic to his death.
My biological mother, Lorna Pollard, holds my hand and cries.
"Claude is already dead. Don't ruin Gwen too."
My biological father, Joseph Walton, presses the pen into my palm.
"The dead shouldn't stand in the way of the living."
