Madison hired her own attorney.
Her attorney did what a good attorney does. She went through Madison’s phone. And she found the text messages Richard had sent his daughter.
One said:
Use the new login. Move the full amount before Claire checks the account.
Another said:
Do not call her. She’ll panic and interfere.

It was my money. From the company I’d built eleven years before I ever met Richard Cole. It had been sitting in a separate investment account in my name alone since the day the sale closed. And our prenuptial agreement said, in language a first-year law student couldn’t misread, that neither spouse had any authority over the other’s separate property.
