The Price of Hidden Assets and the Truth That Reopened My Divorce
I showed the screen to Robert.
His jaw tightened.
“He knows she’s gone,” Robert said.
“And he’s looking for leverage.”
“We need to move fast.”
We got into the car, Vanessa sitting in the back seat, staring out the window.
The drive back to the city was tense.
No one spoke.
The only sound was the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers against the glass.
I kept my phone in my hand, watching for another message from Rachel.
I texted her back: *Keep the doors locked. I’m coming as soon as I can.*
When we arrived at Robert’s office building, the lights in the lobby were dimming.
The security guard nodded as we walked past the desk.
We went straight to the conference room.
Robert’s assistant was already waiting with a notary.
For the next two hours, Vanessa detailed every transaction she had witnessed.
She explained how Daniel would take cash from sub-contractors.
She explained how he would write off personal expenses as business development.
The notary stamped the final page of the affidavit.
“Thank you, Vanessa,” Robert said, gathering the papers.
