Chapter 7 - The Silent Vow
Jill didn't scream. She didn't cry. She didn't slap his face.
Instead, she stood perfectly still, watching Richard's smug face with absolute, icy composure. She reached into her handbag, touched the cool edges of the certified document from the county clerk, and made a silent vow.
He thought she was weak because she was quiet. He thought she was helpless because she had sacrificed everything for him.
"Enjoy your anniversary dinner, Richard," Jill said softly, her voice smooth and devoid of all anger.
Richard blinked, surprised by her lack of hysterical crying. "That's right. Be smart for once in your life. Don't call me again."
Jill turned around and walked out of the corporate tower with steady, deliberate steps.
As soon as she reached her car, she didn't drive home. She drove straight to the southern district law office of Marcus Vance—the most formidable corporate litigator and forensic accountant in the state.
Marcus Vance was known as the "Iron Hammer" of the legal world, a lawyer who specialized in uncovering hidden offshore assets and destroying corporate fraudsters.
