The Truth Behind Michael’s Anger
The following week, Karen’s attorney discovered something unexpected during the divorce proceedings.
Michael had been transferring money into an account that Karen knew nothing about.
The account had existed for years.
Some of the transfers coincided with the periods when he claimed to be attending business conferences.
Karen sat in her attorney’s office, staring at the documents.
“Does this mean he was hiding money from me?”
“It appears that way,” her attorney replied. “But we need the complete records before drawing conclusions.”
Karen felt a familiar wave of anger.
For years, she had questioned herself.
Had she been inattentive? Had she failed to notice the warning signs? Had she become so focused on keeping her family together that she had stopped paying attention to her own marriage?
Now she was beginning to understand that she had not imagined the dishonesty.
Her attorney continued.
“We’ll request the relevant financial records through the proper legal process. Don’t confront him about the account until we’ve reviewed the evidence.”
