***
The next several months were difficult.
Imelda pursued the estate records. Saoirse obtained independent legal representation. I supplied the recording and the documents in my possession, and I answered questions about what I had heard and when I had heard it.
The financial investigation was separate from my divorce.
Imelda repeatedly reminded me that the estate issues belonged to Saoirse and that my role was to provide truthful evidence, not to take control of a dispute that wasn’t mine.
I followed her advice.
I also stopped pretending that I could save my marriage by understanding Grayson better.
When I finally confronted him, I did it with legal advice and a clear plan for where I would stay afterward.
I didn’t play the recording in a restaurant.
I didn’t send it to his relatives.
I didn’t post his words on social media.
I sat across from him in a solicitor’s office and told him that I knew about the apartment.
