“That clause is ancient history,” Scott said. “It doesn’t apply to a legal divorce.”

“You aren’t divorced yet, Scott,” I said.

“Your signature is on the papers, Avery,” Scott said, leaning forward. “My lawyer filed them yesterday. You agreed to the terms.”

“The filing was premature, Mr. Collins,” Jerome said. “And fraud invalidates any signature.”

Sterling frowned, looking down at his client.

“What fraud?” Sterling asked. “My client made no false representations regarding his personal assets. The house was his before the marriage.”

“We’re not just talking about the house, Mr. Sterling,” Jerome said.

He tapped the manila folder in front of him.

“We are talking about thirty million dollars,” Jerome said. “And the exact date your client began his affair.”

Kayla shifted in her chair, her face flushing.

“That has nothing to do with the money,” Kayla said.

“Actually, Miss Jensen, it has everything to do with it,” Jerome said.

He slid a document across the table toward Victoria Vance.

“This is a certified timeline of your client’s relationship with Miss Jensen,” Jerome said.

Sterling didn’t look at the paper. “Infidelity is a family court matter. It has no bearing on probate.”
