Ex-Husband Stole Her $15 Million Estate and Invited Her to His Wedding – Then He Discovered Her Mother’s Identity
Some acts of marital betrayal reach their ultimate expression when the spouse who has systematically deceived and stolen from their partner feels confident enough to flaunt their victory by inviting their victim to witness their celebration with the person who helped destroy the marriage. For Isabelle, receiving the wedding invitation from ex-husband Ethan—featuring “a photo of him and his mistress smiling happily” with the cruel message to “come see what real happiness looks like”—represented the final humiliation after he had tricked her into signing away the $15 million Hamptons estate she had designed and built with three years of passion and dedication.
