Chapter 11 - Uncovering The Mistress Real Criminal Background
With the mansion temporarily cleared of toxic influences, Richard and I sat in the private study to review digital forensic files. Our private investigator had run a comprehensive background check on Jeffrey's mistress within forty-eight hours.
"Claire, you won't believe what our investigator dug up on Jessica Moore—her real name is Chloe Vance-Smith," Richard said, sliding a dossier across the desk. I scanned the printed police records and mugshots attached to the front page of the file.
"She's a convicted financial scam artist who targets wealthy executives in Florida and Georgia," I read aloud in shock. "And she has an open warrant for check forgery in Palm Beach," Richard added with a grim nod.
Jeffrey had installed a professional grifter and con artist in our home while starving my four-year-old son. The disgust I felt toward my estranged husband reached levels I didn't think humanly possible.
"Does Jeffrey know about her criminal history?" I asked, looking up at my attorney. "Doubtful; she used a fake maiden name and claimed she was an heiress when they met at a charity gala," Richard explained.

"Let's make sure the district attorney receives this complete dossier before the preliminary custody hearing next week," I instructed. "A convicted con artist living with a neglected child is a judge's absolute worst nightmare."
Richard smiled, tucking the dossier back into his leather briefcase with clinical precision. "She'll be facing federal wire fraud charges before she can pack another designer handbag," Richard assured me.
