Stumped
The expertise of Jason Kurland was to help people in the position of Laura. These ordinary people had just won the lottery and made a considerable amount of money for themselves. Still, her side of the story with her now ex-husband was something he had never had to deal with during his career. He was unable to believe that he had just been stumped as such an experienced lawyer!
A Deep Dark Secret
After Laura told her attorney every detail of what had just happened to Jack, he told her there was no way to get any of her cash. He said he wanted to leave her, after all, before she could even tell him about the money! At significant risk, Laura decided to add something to the end of her letter; it was something she had never told anyone outside her family, and she wasn’t even sure if Jack was aware of it.
