Chapter Forty
"Mr. King I thought you were smarter then to just have my plan for the trust fund to be laid out in the open for him to find like that" Candice Hart spoke loudly. She was paying the lawyer before her a lot of money and she was not getting her money's worth.
"Mrs. Hart I informed you if you wanted to do another trust for your grandson you could, but that it would have to be a separate account after you received you're money back, not the same account just changed for you to be appointed the main trustee" Mr. King stated not allowing himself to lose his cool with her. He had told Mrs. Hart this a dozen times but she refused to listen as he explained it. She only wanted to leave the money in the same account because she did not want to have to pay fees and taxes on the changes. "Because your grandson other trustee has to sign off on you being named head of the trust"
"Well it doesn't matter now does it" Candice smartly replied thinking she was going to be needing a new lawyer and law firm soon. This one was was getting to be to hard to work with. And where she went she brought along a lot of her clients. "Let's just get this done with I'm sure after Zoe arrives without that backwoods Bartender I will be able to talk some sense into her"
Mr. King kept his mouth shut just nodded his head from what he had learned of Wade Kinsella the man was just not a bartender but the owner of the restaurant bar he worked in, but kept himself from commenting on that. Mrs. Hart hated Mr. Kinsella so the lawyer knew not to mention any positive things about the gentleman at all. If he wanted to keep her as a client which he was starting to doubt he was going to be able to do after this.
Mr. King would not miss Mrs. Hart at all if she took her business elsewhere it was the clients that she had brought with her that would be missed by the whole firm. But sometimes you have to cut your losses. He just hoped Mrs. Hart would stay he would try his best to make her stay.
"Go open the door see if my daughter has arrived yet" Candice ordered her attorney.
Just as Mr. King was was opening the door a ringing phone could be heard from the hallway.

Wanda and Tom both were speechless for a full minute after hearing Kay's story how Mrs. Hart's attorney had offered her three thousand dollars if she seduced or tried to seduce Wade Kinsella and make a big production of it so that the customers of the Rammer Jammer thought Wade and she were having a affair behind Zoe Hart's back.
Kay hadn't really been that remorseful about her part in trying to break up Wade and Zoe. She didn't really seem to care that there was a child involved at all. That she could have broken up not just a couple but a family. Tom hadn't realized until he was pulling his Wife off of Kay just how angry that thought had made Wanda.
"You are a homewrecker and the worst kind you're just doing it for money" Wanda yelled from Tom's arms as he was holding her back from attacking Kay again. "You are fired, don't even think about coming back here"
When Kay didn't look like she was going to listen to Wanda, Tom let his wife go and watched as Kay took off running as if her life depended on it because it did by the way Wanda was chasing after Kay calling her all types of different names. All of BlueBell by dinner time would know of the scene that had happened here hopefully none of them would think Wanda had caught him cheating on her.
Looking up Tom saw none other then Dash DeWitt setting at a table with a smile on his face. From that smile Tom knew Dash had what he thought was a scoop. "What's ya doing Dash?" Tom ask.
"Oh Tom Long just the man I needed to ask a burning question" Dash said looking up at the younger man "Can you tell me why your Wife just ran out of here screaming at the Bartender name Kay I believe, calling her a homewrecker among other things?"
"It's not what your thinking at all" Tom replied taking a seat next to Dash at his table. He wasn't sure what Wanda would want him to reveal about Kay or not but he was not going to let the whole town think he was a cheater.
"So Kay wasn't trying to seduced Wade and didn't know he wasn't in town today?" Dash asked eyeballing Tom knowing he could tell if the other man was trying to lie to him. Kay didn't seem like the kind of woman that would go for the type of man Tom was.
"Yeah she was but it wasn't because she wanted Wade, Mrs. Hart was paying her money to break up Zoe and Wade. Today was her first attempt" Tom said feeling guilt as the whole story fell out of his mouth. "But please you can't post any of this, at least until Wade gets back so he can break it to Zoe in person"
Dash gave Tom a look like he was crazy if he thought for one second he was going to set on the biggest story that had hit BlueBell since Zoe Hart's return.
"Please Dash just think of little Jack Kinsella can't you just wait a day to post just one day?" Tom pleaded and it wasn't just for Zoe and Wade, Wanda would kill him if Dash posted his story tonight before they could call and warn Wade about what had just happened.
While Dash was deciding if he could risk in all good conscience causing Zoe Hart any type of pain. The Doctor had been through so much, her Mother just did not see how her actions were affecting her daughter and grandson. Dash just shake his head at thoughts of Mrs. Hart.
Wanda returned looking all proud of herself and having a few strains of hair that weren't her hair color sticking to her fingers. Dash swore he heard her say "That will teach that homewrecking harpy" the look in her eyes scared the older gentleman and he decided he did not want the BlueBell woman mad at him he might be the next one she took on.
"I think Tom you are right, I won't post anything about what Kay did but you better call Wade right away I can't guarantee someone isn't already spreading the word around town" Dash stated then ask "Can I get some more fries?"
Wanda gave Tom a glare and he just shrugged his shoulders leaving to go get more fries for Dash hoping she would overlook his part in Dash's blog post the next day. When he returned with the fries he was going to asks if Dash wouldn't use his name in the blog. Because it was clear that his sweet wonderful wife could turn into a vicious woman if given reason, it made Tom love her all the more.
"I better call Wade" Wanda said dreading having to tell her Boss that Mrs. Hart had setup for him, thank goodness he wasn't in town so Zoe would know without a doubt he had nothing to do with Kay. After her call her to Wade, Wanda was going to have to try and rework tonights schedule because Kay was on call at the bar tonight. But that wasn't going to happen seeing as Wanda had just fired her, threatening to call Sheriff Bill for trespassing if Kay ever showed her face at the Rammer Jammer again.

The phone ringing had started right before Mr. King had started to open the door but George hadn't really be listen because he just wanted to get this whole thing over with. So he turned looking at his friend with a unbelief in his eyes when instead of declining the call they accepted it instead "Sorry I have to take this call"
"What? no you can't do that whoever it is will have to call back" George said he wasn't going back into that conference room alone.
"Hello" was the replied both George and the person on the other end of the cell both heard. George counted silently to ten then walked into the conference room alone he could see that Candice Hart was not happy with him for not having Zoe with him.
"My client had a important phone call and will be right in. Have you made the changes we talked about yet?" George asked in lawyer mode not letting his aggravation for his client not declining the call come through his voice and manners.
"Not yet, Mrs. Hart was hoping that her daughter would decide to sign off on them" Mr. King answered. Knowing that wasn't going to go well with the another lawyer in front of him.
"My client has been very clear on what has been agreed upon. And any new trust that has Mrs. Hart as the head and Zoe Hart also involved is not what my client wants. So if you will not remove that then all I can say to you Mr. King and Mrs. Hart is good day" George informed them he then turned to leave the room suddenly glad that phone call had happened so he could handle this situation on his own without having a personal interest involved. Just as he pulled the door open Mrs. Hart yelled out for him to stop.
"Yes" George responded with as he turned around "What is it you would like Mrs. Hart?"
"Okay you win, Mr. King will change the documents. I just want to see my daughter if that isn't too much to ask?" Candice Hart stated as if she had been the wronged party in all this. George actually believe she thought she was, he was counting his lucky stars he wasn't related to her. Poor Zoe to have this unhinged women as her Mother.
Before George could say anything a hurricane blew threw the room in the form of a angry Wade Kinsella speaking loudly
"You are some piece of work Mrs. Hart"
Candice stood up from her seat at the conference table and yelled "What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in BlueBell"
"Yeah so that your little scheme could play out, I'm not sorry to disappoint you I'm here in New York to sign your paper work and get Zoe's money back for her" Wade announced as he walked over to the conference table taking a seat. George kept the surprise from his face at Wade's very loud entrance having no idea what the other man was talking about.
"You can not sign it, it has to be Zoe" Candice Hart ordered as she walked towards the now setting Wade charging at him ready to attack this thorn that had been in her side for over two years now.
"I would not do that if I were you" George said as he stood between Candice and his client "If you lay one finger on my client I will have you arrested for assault. Plus no where on Jack's trust does if ever say it has to be Zoe Hart it states Jack's legal guardian which my client Wade Kinsella is".
"I will not sign it" Candice replied taking a few steps back from George she was furious having been played by the county bumpkins. How dare Wade Kinsella think he could out maneuver her, who was he to think he could outsmart her?
"You will if you don't want to have to answer questions about embezzlement having to do with your Daughter's money, while I'm sure the fine law firm here could and will get you off on all charges. I'm not so sure the public will after all that is your business isn't it?" George ask in a very stern tone leaving no room for argument.
"Mrs. Hart I think we sure head back to my office and talk about Mr. Tucker's offer" Mr. King said as he stood from his seat and walked towards his client then past her leaving her no choice but to follow. Turning she gave both men remaining in the room a hate filled look then left.
Wade whistled shaking his head then said "I have to hand it to you George that was some mighty fine lawyering there you just done. You sure took Mrs. Hart off the high tower she thinks she lives in and knocked her back down to earth"
"Thank You" George responded with "I'm just a little confused about"
Wade cut George off before he could finish "My grand entrance? Yeah I just got off the phone with Wanda it seems Mrs. Hart paid a now former employee of mine three thousand dollars to try and break me and Zoe up"
"What?" George asked his eyes brows raising almost to his hair line. Now he understood Wade's earlier words and rightful anger would Candice Hart ever leave Wade and Zoe alone to live their lives in peace? George just hoped his threat to turn her into the police would help with keeping her away.
