I forwarded the message to Sandra without replying.

The following week was exhausting as I met with a family and financial lawyer named Sandra Vance.

We reviewed my bank accounts, business records, and property documents.

The deeper we looked, the worse the financial picture became.

There were payments Spencer had claimed were household expenses that were linked directly to Gertrude’s business.

Sandra brought in a forensic accountant named Brenda to examine the records thoroughly.

A few days later, Brenda called me into her office and turned her monitor toward me.
