Signed for Lace, Sentenced for Life
At dinner, Tiffany White grabs my fiance's phone and spends 100 thousand dollars on a designer bag. She even sticks her tongue at me.
"Come on, Meredith. You're loaded. You won't mind such a small amount, right? Shawn and I share everything. His money is my money," she says.
Everyone at the table waits for me to lose my temper or smile and let it slide like a saint. Instead, I calmly take out a voice recorder and my laptop from my bag and adjust my gold-rimmed glasses.
"100 thousand meets the threshold for criminal filing. Since you said you two share everything, I have to ask—is this embezzlement or an illegal transfer tied to an improper personal relationship?
"Oh, and what you just said about 'his money is my money'? I recorded that. According to the supplemental clauses in our prenup and the company bylaws, I'm officially initiating an asset-freezing order against Shawn Harrison."
I turn to Tiffany. "Enjoy your free meals in prison, Ms. White."
Shawn is livid. "It was just a joke, Meredith. Is it really necessary to ruin me over this?"
I hit the "enter" key.
"Sorry. In my book, there are no jokes—only bad debt."
