Cassidy walked toward the kitchen to get away from the boys curious eyes. “Justin loves to brag about things that are not true,” she whispered.
“He also mentioned that his family thinks he sold your house because you were the one who failed financially,” Maxwell continued. “Is that what he told you as well?”
Cassidy leaned against the counter and felt the room begin to spin. “He told me we were in debt and that selling the house was the only way to save our future,” she said.
“He said I did not understand finance and that I should trust him to handle the liquidation.” There was a long pause on the line before Maxwell spoke again with a voice like cold steel.
“Your ex husband was under an internal investigation for embezzling commission funds from Kendrick Logistics.” “He repaid a significant portion of that money very quickly to avoid criminal charges.”
Cassidy felt her breath catch in her throat as she realized exactly where that money had come from. “The house,” she whispered while her eyes filled with fresh tears.
“The sale of your family home likely paid for his theft,” Maxwell said gently. “He did not sell it to save your family and he did not sell it because of your mistakes.”
