That box was full of money, it was about $38,000, and they got shocked because they had never seen that much money in their lives. This is where the problem starts because they find a paper that they think was Frank’s will.

You think the money should go to–” She looked down the paper again. “–Curtis Martindale? Who is Cutis Martindale, anyway?” (Pg. 26) Jackie and her aunt start arguing about the store her grandfather used to own, but they’re confusing about this person who her grandfather left it to.
