My Divorced Neighbor Told Me, ‘I’m Going to Take Your Husband, so You’d Better Prepare for Divorce’ – I Decided to Teach Her a Lesson in a Way Only Another Woman Could

Vanessa could be dishonest about Irvin and still be right that my bakery was operating from a space without the proper approval.

That was when the answer finally became obvious.

“I’m closing the garage myself,” I said.

Irvin looked at me. “That’s what we’ve been trying to avoid.”

“And that’s why she has leverage. She can only threaten us with something we’re still trying to hide from.”

So I did the painful thing first.

I called every customer.

I refunded orders I couldn’t fulfill and postponed the ones I could.

I rented time in a licensed commercial kitchen across town, an expensive fluorescent place that smelled like bleach, and moved what work I could there.

Irvin started the proper approval process for our garage.
