Part 3/9:
Julia’s suspicion seems centered on Dean, her colleague and self-professed "work husband," with whom she has become increasingly close. Ethan observes her reactions—guilt or fear flickers across her face upon mentioning Dean and their joint activities. Ethan’s own investigations reveal Julia’s secret social media posts displaying her close interactions with Dean at the gym and glamorous photos hinting at a romantic connection, including a recent dinner posted without explicit identification.
Dean Malice, her trainer and rumored lover, emerges as a man with a troubled past, including multiple divorces and court orders for stalking and harassment. His financial instability and recent social media posts suggest a man living beyond his means, possibly desperate for a wealthy spouse like Julia.
