Chapter 14
The divorce hearing was quieter than I expected.
No screaming.
No restaurant.
No dramatic slap.
Just a courtroom where Daniel had to answer questions under oath.
Karen asked, “Did you access Emily Carter’s work email without permission?”
“Yes.”
“Did you send an email as her?”
“Yes.”
“Did you go to Mr. Lawson’s office and offer money to stop the partnership?”
Daniel hesitated.
The judge looked up.
“Yes,” Daniel said.
“Did you believe your wife had a right to pursue her career without your approval?”
His attorney objected.
The judge allowed a narrower version.
Karen asked, “Did you believe you had authority to interfere in her business meeting?”
Daniel looked at me.
For once, no performance.
“Yes,” he said quietly.
