When I didn’t answer, he flipped through more photos.
“These are pictures of me with my boyfriend. We were together for nine years. You took advantage of my time abroad to get involved with him. If I hadn’t come back and seen his phone, I’d still be clueless!”
As I stared at the intimate photos on the screen, my frown grew deeper.
I couldn’t believe that the boyfriend Ethan was talking about was my husband of five years, Ivan Scott!
The payment bills were genuine, but he used a supplementary card that I had given him.
Suddenly, everything fell into place.
It made sense why he’d been making excuses to skip our daughter’s funeral and why he hadn’t taken her to the hospital when she was sick.
Ivan was nothing more than a freeloader. My father had left all of his inheritance to my daughter, Sophia, specifically to prevent Ivan from taking it.
With Sophia’s death, however, things started to look even more suspicious.
Ivan’s monthly salary was only 1,000 dollars, and the rest of his expenses were covered by my supplementary card. I never imagined he would use that card to manipulate the situation!
