After her grandfather’s death, Katherine focused on her veterinary career, trying to move forward. But her world collapsed again when her husband, Michael, abruptly filed for divorce. The real shock came a month later.

She saw Michael “stepping out of a sleek sports car, wearing designer clothes.” He mockingly gave her a $100 bill as a “parting gift.” Katherine froze when she noticed “a small blue smiley face” on the corner — the same mark she had once drawn on her grandfather’s $200,000 gift before returning it.

Realizing the money was somehow in Michael’s hands, Katherine sought answers. Her grandfather’s friend Harrison revealed the truth: he had entrusted the funds to Michael, believing he would safeguard them for her. Instead, Michael betrayed that trust.

Harrison connected her with Logan, an attorney who explained Michael’s actions could be “fraud and misappropriation of funds.” Logan advised confronting him first.

In a tense meeting, Michael denied everything, but the marked bill and Harrison’s testimony exposed him. Though the legal fight had just begun, Katherine’s story became one of strength — reclaiming not only the money but also the future her grandfather intended.
