My Best Friend / My Evil Stepmother

The whole day just continued with one accusation and another against Maxine and Kelsey. It all stimulated from Maxine keeping her cherished items and the house from him and he was entitled to them. First her father's lawyer said that Kelsey could not be Maxine's daughter because she was fertile. Kelsey's lawyer showed the birth certificate plus pictures of Maxine with her best friend Audrey almost from the start of Maxine's pregnancy to the right up to the time Kelsey was born.arranged with little quotations beside or under every picture in a scrap book.

Then his lawyer tried to insist that Kelsey was his child. Again there was a paternity test that showed where indeed he was Kelsey's father. His lawyer objected due to his client had never given a sample of his DNA for that test. Again Kelsey's lawyer showed when Kelsey was very young the couple was worried about what kind of illness their daughter could inherited from each of them. The first test was a paternity test.

His lawyer was striking out with every allegations to why Kelsey didn't deserve the rest of her mother's estate. What nailed the coffin is when Kelsey's lawyer showed right after Maxine's death her father kicked her out then sold the house in New York for triple the money Maxine bought it for and then his bank statements where he blew that money and wanted the rest of her money to blow more, leaving his daughter bankrupted and homeless out on the streets. That was exactly what Maxine thought he would do.

The judge ruled in Kelsey's favor making her father mad that he stormed out of the courthouse cursing at her. Half way down the front steps of the court house Kelsey heard Cory call her name. She turned to see him when a gunshot rang out. It was only one shot. It hit her in her upper right shoulder. She passed out falling into her lawyers arms. Audrey was just one of many people who called 911 to get help for her.

She was rushed to the hospital where she under went surgery. The police said her father was at the side of the courthouse with one of his legal team when she was shot by a high power rifle. It was professional hit or similar to that. There was one person who came to her mind and that Isabel. She had been target shoting during her college years and had won several championship trophies.

The next day Kelsey received a letter by a courier from the college that shead used up all support from them and was refused any more support from them. She was immediately removed from their list of students at the college. Audrey asked her what she wanted to do about it. All Kelsey could say is I want to go home. Cody helped Audrey to pack her things into a moving van Home she was going as soon as she was released from the hospital.
