If this counted as domestic violence, Jessica would need Marquis to come over and collect evidence.

As it happened, Marquis was already in Vince's office. He pulled up a photo on his phone and handed it to Vince. "Take a look at this, Mr. Zimmerman. Lawson really went too far-no wonder Mrs. Lawson wants a divorce."

Vince's brow furrowed as he saw the dark bruises mottling Jessica's wrists.

"She said the marks are from being tied up with a necktie," Marquis added.

Vince shot to his feet. "Did he force himself on her?"

Marquis, surprised by Vince's reaction, replied, "I'm not sure. Let me message her and find out."

Handing the phone back, Vince said, "Actually, check if she's home. Go over and get the evidence. I'm going to have a word with Timothy myself."

"You're really getting involved in Timothy's divorce?"

Vince raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like I'm joking?"

"All right, I'll reach out to her now."

Vince left the office.

Jessica soon received a message from Marquis:
