Abstract

This text tells the story of Gordon Stark, a wealthy man who wants to divorce his wife Gwen but is unable to due to their prenuptial agreement. Gordon hires private investigators to find a reason to divorce Gwen without financial consequences and discovers a rumor that Gwen is having an affair with her tennis instructor, Tray Henshaw. Gordon confronts Tray and offers him money to keep the affair a secret, but Tray counters with a higher price. Ultimately, Gordon realizes that Tray is bluffing and refuses to give in to his demands. Gordon tries to use a recording of Gwen and Tray's conversation as evidence in their divorce proceedings, but Gwen's lawyer exposes it as a fake. Gwen is granted half of Gordon's fortune, and rumors circulate about her enjoying her newfound wealth with a young man on tropical islands. [Extracted from the article]
