“Someone filed a complaint. They said his need-based funding didn’t match his actual support history.”
I just stared at him.
“What does that mean?”
Daniel looked miserable.
“It means tuition and living expenses were also being paid through your accounts and an old family education fund. Some of the marital-status records didn’t line up either. On paper, it looks like he hid household support.”
I felt cold all over.
“I paid because we were trying to survive.”
“I know.”
“Then why does any of this matter now?”
“Because incoming residency files were being reviewed. Marcus thought if the school escalated it, your name could get pulled into it too.”
There it was.
A reason.
It didn’t explain everything, but it gave me one thread I could start pulling.
I looked down at the envelope in my hands.
Because I still loved him, I grabbed onto the only answer that hurt a little less.
