Absorbed in her world
Ashley seemed completely absorbed in her university bubble, disconnected from the turmoil tearing our family apart. Her upbeat calls, filled with stories of friends, classes, and campus life, only amplified how little she understood—or cared—about the consequences of her tuition being paid with my stolen assets. When I tried to bring up the situation, she dismissed me with a careless “You’re overreacting,” leaving me stunned by her lack of empathy. That moment made it painfully clear that I was on my own in this fight. Still, her apathy only strengthened my resolve to keep pushing forward, even if she chose to remain ignorant of the damage caused in my name.

Persistence in adversity
Despite the emotional exhaustion and the ever-growing list of challenges, I forced myself to stay focused on navigating the complex legal battle ahead. Every day required a careful balance between my job, meetings with Mitchell, and the endless stream of paperwork tied to the investigation. The process was lonely and at times overwhelming, but each hurdle I cleared sharpened my determination rather than weakening it. Slowly, adversity became my driving force, shaping my mindset and reminding me why I needed to see this fight through. No matter how heavy the burden became, my commitment to reclaiming what was taken from me kept me grounded and moving forward.
