Brielle had thought the police would need more time to investigate, but to her surprise, the results came back quickly.

By the next day, there was an update.

But it concerned only one person - the woman. The investigation revealed that she was Mark's wife, the same woman who had divorced Mark and abandoned him without looking back.
