The Husband They Cast Out

For three years, Liam Carter has endured life as the unwanted husband of Evelyn Sterling, the brilliant president of a struggling Chicago development company. The Sterling family sees Liam as a penniless failure. They mock his past, dismiss his advice, and blame him for damaging Evelyn’s reputation. What they do not know is that Liam was once the rightful heir to Carter Holdings. After his father died in a suspicious car accident, Liam was framed for stealing company funds, stripped of his inheritance, and forced into hiding. When Sterling Development faces bankruptcy, billionaire Nathaniel Graves offers the family seventy five million dollars. His condition is simple. Evelyn must divorce Liam and remove him from her life. Determined to protect hundreds of employees, Evelyn accepts the deal. Liam signs the separation agreement without revealing that a forensic investigation has finally proven his innocence. That same night, Liam’s frozen shares are restored, making him the largest individual shareholder in Carter Holdings. He now has the opportunity to reclaim his family empire, expose the uncle who betrayed him, and uncover the truth behind his father’s death. However, the first piece of evidence creates a devastating mystery. The money used to frame Liam came from Sterling Development, and the transfer carries Evelyn’s signature. Was Liam’s wife secretly involved in his destruction, or is someone framing them both? Their marriage may be ending, but the conspiracy connecting their families has only begun.
