My Family Traded My Marriage Away Chapter 22
A year later, I founded a legal aid organization. My first client was Naomi Stiles, a young woman who had just turned 20 years old.Her parents had been consistently withdrawing large sums of money from the life insurance payout her grandma had left her for years, all the while telling her that every cent of the family's money had gone toward supporting her.Naomi sat across from me, clutching the hem of her shirt. "Will they abandon me if I ask for that money back?"It was a question I'd asked myself countless times, too. I slid the documents I'd prepared across the desk toward her."People who truly love you won't ask you to give up everything just to prove you're a good daughter."She sat in silence for a long time before finally signing her name on the letter of engagement.After seeing her out, I stood by the office window.On my desk sat the old candy tin Grandpa had left me. Isaac had eventually helped me track down the emerald pendant Janice had sold. It'd cracked at som

The day the divorce was finalized, the sky was exceptionally clear. Hector arrived half an hour before our scheduled appointment. We hadn't seen each other in months, and he'd lost a lot of weight.Following the internal investigation, he hadn't been held primarily legally responsible for the misappropriated funds from the trust, but he'd lost his senior position within Greene Corporation.The man who had once been unfailingly composed and confident now sat on a bench in the lobby of the courthouse, his fingers clenched around something in his pocket.The proceedings went smoothly. When the clerk confirmed that we both wished to proceed, Hector stared at me and asked, "Is there really no chance of salvaging our relationship?""None whatsoever."He lowered his head and signed the paperwork at last.After we walked out of the courthouse, he called after me. Sunlight fell across the steps as he took the wedding ring from his pocket. It was the same ring I'd left on top of the divorc

Three months later, the first batch of trust assets was returned.After a corporate restructuring, Ronald lost his position and all his shares in Lloyd Corporation. The court sold off the villa as well.He and Janice moved into a two-bedroom apartment. The living room was so cramped that she couldn't even find a suitable place to hang the family portrait.Ronald spent most of his time running around, trying to get in touch with his former business partners. Unfortunately for him, all those people who used to greet him with smiles refused to even take his calls now.Duncan sold his sports car and apartment, but he was still left with debts from the failed project to shoulder on his own.He refused to live with Ronald and Janice. He firmly believed that if Ronald hadn't given so much money to Giselle, his company wouldn't have gone under.Giselle also moved out of the house that had been purchased with the trust proceeds. She tried to move back in with Ronald and Janice, only to di

When Duncan arrived at the law firm with the financial records, he'd lost a considerable amount of weight.His project had come to a complete standstill. Investors were demanding their money back, and all the people who used to flock around him, sucking up to him, had disappeared.He placed a flash drive in front of me. "This contains all of Dad's financial records from the past several years. I'm willing to testify in court."I didn't touch the drive. "What are your terms?"He lowered his head and said, "I want you to drop the part of the claim against me. Dad made those transfers. I didn't know where the money came from."Isaac flipped open several documents. They all bore Duncan's signature. When he said he hadn't known about it, what he really meant was that he'd never bothered to ask where the money came from.He'd always assumed that everything belonging to the Lloyds was rightfully his anyway."Evelina, you're my sister."It was the first time he'd ever called me that. I

Before the court seized her property, Giselle reached out to the media. She made her chat history with Hector public, and the messages went back several years.She wanted to prove that he had always been the one pursuing her.In their messages, Hector had promised to protect her. He had also said that he'd married me only because he couldn't bear to see me fall apart.Crying in front of the cameras, Giselle said, "I admit I was wrong, but he's the one who betrayed his marriage. I was a victim of his deceit, too."She thought this would allow her to salvage what little dignity she had left, but among the records she released was a screenshot of a funding approval.The approved project was part of a supply chain venture jointly operated by Greene Corporation and Lloyd Corporation.During that same period, Ronald had been using the project to disguise trust proceeds as legitimate profits before transferring the money to Giselle's company.Isaac immediately secured the evidence, and

Hector refused to give up. He moved out of the marital home and got rid of everything Giselle had used. Everything from the house slippers in the shoe cabinet, the clothes she'd left in the guest room, and even the cup she always used was tossed out.He sent me photos, as if to prove that he'd erased every trace of his mistake. However, some things don't disappear just because a few old things were thrown out.A week later, I returned to the city to finalize the divorce. Hector insisted that I stop by our old marital home."You left some of your things here."I opened the door to find that the house looked almost exactly as it had before I left. My favorite flowers sat on the dining table. The kitchen had been stocked with fresh ingredients. He'd even bought a new pair of slippers identical to my old ones."See? Giselle's gone. No one else will be moving in from now on," he said.I headed to the nursery without bothering to change out of my shoes.The starry wallpaper was still
