Shortly afterward, I discovered a suspicious $1.2 million payment request to a company called Northbridge Advisory. The attached document carried my electronic signature, although I had never authorized it. My father contacted forensic accountant Daniel Ross, while I demanded the return of every company device, key, and document Landon possessed.
The investigation uncovered approximately $286,000 in questionable transactions over eighteen months. My assistant Olivia also found a suspicious consulting contract supposedly signed while I was attending a convention in Chicago. Meanwhile, Landon’s girlfriend Tessa revealed that he had been telling people he helped build Bellhaven, despite having no ownership or official position in the company.
With attorney Rebecca Shaw’s assistance, I restricted access, preserved financial records, and demanded a thorough investigation. Although the evidence had not yet established who was responsible, I refused to ignore the warning signs or accept a quiet settlement. My marriage was over, but I finally understood that protecting my business wasn’t revenge. Whatever the investigation revealed, I was determined to let the evidence speak for itself.
