The Verdict

“Kirsten, you need to sit down right now,” Kenneth said the moment I answered his call on Monday morning.

I leaned back at my desk. “I’m already sitting down, Kenneth. What happened?”

“The financial forensic investigation is complete, and we’ve confirmed that Connor knowingly concealed over seven hundred thousand dollars during the divorce,” Kenneth explained.

My eyes closed briefly as the confirmation sank in. “You sound like there’s even more news.”

“There is,” Kenneth sighed heavily. “The subpoenaed medical records became legally connected to a separate paternity dispute filed by an entirely different party.”
