Chapter 3 - The Ignorant Husband
When Julian had met Evelyn four years ago, she had been a quiet, modest woman who rarely boasted about her personal wealth or financial achievements.
Julian came from a family that carried an inflated sense of social pride despite having lost their own family business years prior.
Because Evelyn was gentle and preferred to keep peace within the marriage, Julian and his mother assumed she was a meek, dependent wife who owed her comfortable lifestyle entirely to Julian's corporate job.
Whenever Diane visited, she treated Evelyn like a glorified housekeeper, making snide remarks about her working late hours and demanding that she cook elaborate dinners for the entire extended family.
Julian consistently took his mother's side, scolding Evelyn whenever she attempted to set reasonable boundaries. He believed that because they were legally married, every asset Evelyn possessed automatically belonged to his family.
What Julian had convenient forgotten—or rather, completely ignored—was the meeting they had with an estate attorney four years ago prior to their small courthouse wedding.
Julian had been so arrogant and eager to finalize the marriage that he had signed a comprehensive pre-marital agreement without reading the fine print.
He assumed prenuptial agreements were standard formalities that only protected small bank accounts.
