Not once did he ask whether I was all right.
His only concern was how the incident might affect him.
Claire told me not to respond emotionally.
She recommended keeping communication in writing and limiting contact to necessary matters.
I agreed.
Three days later, the restaurant informed me that the relevant footage had been preserved and could be provided to investigators through the proper channels.
The manager also confirmed that the footage showed the moment Spencer threw the wine.
A nearby camera captured Gertrude smiling just before it happened.
Another recording showed Spencer sliding the bill toward me and pointing at it aggressively.
The evidence supported my account.
The police continued reviewing the incident.
Meanwhile, I began examining my marriage more honestly.
I had worked as a financial analyst before marrying Spencer.
After our wedding, he persuaded me to leave my position and help manage his family’s investment business.
He told me that we would build something together.
