Chapter 8 - The Lawyer's Wrath
Inside the high-rise law office of Vance & Associates, Attorney Marcus Vance sat behind a massive mahogany desk, listening intently as Jill laid out the timeline of Richard’s fifteen-year betrayal.
Marcus was a sharp, fifty-year-old man with silver hair and piercing blue eyes. When Jill placed the certified marriage records and Richard's financial bank statements on his desk, Marcus’s eyes lit up with intense legal fury.
"He didn't just commit bigamy, Mrs. Tolley," Marcus said, his deep voice filled with controlled rage. "He used your social security number to open secondary shell accounts to hide money from Lacey’s family, while using Lacey’s family trust to fund his own private investments."
Jill looked up, startled. "He used my name?"
"Richard Tolley thought he was playing two women against each other," Marcus explained, leaning forward. "Three years ago, Lacey’s father tried to block my firm from auditing his logistics firm. Richard helped them falsify tax filings."
Marcus slid a legal agreement across the desk to Jill.
