Margaret helped me make a list of questions for a lawyer.
Along the way, she noticed a few things that didn’t seem right.
One was the restaurant charge.
Another was an unusual withdrawal from a joint account.
There were also several unexplained expenses associated with Tyler’s business travel.
None of those things proved an affair.
But together, they suggested that I should stop accepting every explanation without question.
Margaret had also discovered that Rachel had previously worked for two companies where senior male executives had been involved in public marital disputes or abrupt career changes.
That information had made us curious, but we had been careful not to assume that Rachel was responsible for what had happened to other people.
We needed facts, not rumors.
Now my sister opened the thickest folder and pushed it toward me.
“I have the documents you gave me, the account records you authorized me to organize, and the public information we discussed. I also made notes about what we should ask a lawyer.”
