One recipient caught Daniel’s attention because it was connected to Richard Cole, an investment consultant Landon had introduced at our anniversary gala two years earlier. I remembered Richard clearly. He had spent the evening congratulating Landon on the business he supposedly helped build. At the time, I thought he was simply being friendly. Now Daniel wanted to examine every transaction involving Richard and the companies connected to him. We also recovered archived calendar records showing a private dinner attended by Landon, Richard, and several people associated with Bellhaven’s financial network.

I asked Daniel whether this meant Landon had stolen money from my company. He said the evidence suggested serious irregularities, but we needed more documentation before making that accusation. My attorney, Rebecca Shaw, joined us the following morning. She reviewed the payment requests, signatures, and invoices, then explained that we needed to protect the company immediately. We secured financial records, contacted the appropriate banking authorities, and restricted access to accounts that could have been compromised. For the first time since the divorce, I felt something stronger than anger. I felt determined to uncover exactly what Landon had done.
