Sarah gasped loudly as David mentioned ending their marriage right in the kitchen.
She had worked for months to secure a comfortable place in his life.
David walked past her toward the grand office down the main hallway.
Sarah followed him closely while shouting demands and excuses behind his back.
Sarah: You cannot throw away our marriage over a simple misunderstanding!
David: I saw your true character with my own two eyes!
Sarah: I have given up my entire life to manage your estate!
David: You have used my money while mistreating my daughter!
David stepped inside his dark wood home office and approached the desk.
He opened his leather briefcase and pulled out a stack of bank statements.
Over the past few weeks, David had noticed strange withdrawals from their accounts.
He had paid little attention because he trusted his new wife completely before.
Now every single piece of the puzzle began to fit together perfectly.
David scanned through the printed pages with a sharp and focused eye.
Thousands of dollars had been transferred to an unfamiliar private legal firm.
David turned around and held the paper right in front of Sarah's face.
Sarah took a step back as her eyes darted nervously across the page.
David: Why are you paying thousands of dollars to a divorce lawyer?
Sarah: That is private personal business that does not concern you!
David: It concerns my estate and my late wife's trust fund!
Sarah: I deserve financial security for the time I spent here!
David: You were planning to sue for child custody to get money!
Sarah fell silent as her secret plot was exposed out in the open.
She had been consulting lawyers to claim full guardianship over little Evelyn.
By getting custody, she could force David to pay massive monthly child support.
She had been trying to make Evelyn look untidy and neglected on paper.
Sarah wanted to claim David was an unfit father who worked too much.
David felt a deep coldness in his heart as the truth became clear.
This woman had never loved him or his precious small daughter at all.
She only cared about the massive mansion and the multi-million dollar estate.
David pulled his mobile phone from his pocket without wasting another second.
He dialed his family lawyer who handled all his high-profile corporate affairs.
David: Mark, I need you to file immediate divorce papers today.
Sarah: Put that phone down right now, David!
David: Prepare an emergency restraining order for my daughter and me.
Sarah reached out to grab the phone from David's hand in panic.
David backed away easily and blocked her with his firm left arm.
