My wife, Susan Miles, and I had been married for three years. During that time, I had put everything I owned into our joint account.It had been Susan's idea."Honey, a marriage should be equal. There's a big difference between our incomes, and that kind of gap can easily become a source of conflict. Why don't we put all our money together? I'll manage the account and handle our expenses. That way, we can cut down on unnecessary spending."At that time, I agreed. Now, my stomach condition had flared up badly, and the pain was almost unbearable. However, the balance on my medical card wasn't enough to cover the preion, as I was still two hundred short.The staff member behind the counter was getting impatient. "Are you done yet? There are people still waiting behind you!"Embarrassed, I picked up the bill and said, "Sorry. I won't be getting it today."She stared at me in surprise as I turned away, clutching my stomach and doubling over with every stab of pain.…Meanwhile, me

I contacted a friend who was a computer whiz and sent him forty thousand to have him trace every financial transaction connected to Susan's accounts, along with the sources of money flowing between her and her family. At the same time, I sent in a formal report to Susan's employer, flagging her unexplained wealth.Susan worked for a major state-owned corporation, and the company had been cracking down hard lately. She had just bought a handbag worth more than three hundred thousand, and her car was worth well over a million.These days, even people who flaunted wealth did it quietly.However, Susan was different. She'd gone from nothing to living like a millionaire, and she'd made sure everyone knew it. Naturally, that had attracted plenty of attention, and plenty of envy.Before, whenever anyone questioned her lifestyle, she'd simply said the money was mine. Now, her employer could take a closer look at exactly where all that money had come from. At the same time, I'd have time

When she heard my words, her expression instantly darkened. "What is that supposed to mean?"I snapped my fingers and pointed across the street.There, a police car was pulling up.Seeing the police, Susan froze at the sight of it. Moments later, she was being handcuffed."Susan Miles, we suspect you of misappropriating company funds. Please come with us."In front of everyone, she was taken away. Her face turned ashen because her coworkers had seen the whole thing.She thought passing her employer's review meant she was safe, but she was wrong.Some of my money was held in an account under my company's name, completely separate from our personal accounts. The money Susan had used to buy one of her bags had come from that account. Thus, while she was being investigated at her workplace, I'd had my company file a police report against her for misappropriating company funds.Her troubles had only just begun.…While Susan was stuck trying to explain herself, I had finished al

"These were my premarital assets, and they were notarized. Susan only had the right to manage them, not the right to use them. Yet during our marriage, she maliciously transferred those assets. She has now agreed to return them, so I'm taking back this house. "Otherwise, you can pay me. Your house costs three million, and the luxury goods add up to 390 thousand, and the car is 1.08 million!"Then, I turned to Susan's mother."As for you, the house plus the transfers come to 4.3 million. You have one week to pay me back, or you're going to prison. I had the means to make her leave with nothing, and I have the means to put your whole family behind bars. If you don't believe me, you can try it out yourselves."I'd laid it out as harshly as I could.Susan's face flushed with rage, but there was nothing she could do. She knew I was capable of it. After all, I'd already put her away, so her family would be no different.Within a week, they actually scraped the money together.Between
