Angry but determined, Genevieve knew she had to outsmart him. She consulted her lawyer, who assured her that any evidence obtained this way would be inadmissible in court. With a renewed sense of purpose, Genevieve devised a plan. She filled the recorder with hours of mundane TV noise, ensuring that anything Anthony hoped to capture would be useless.

Genevieve had successfully protected her son and outwitted her ex-husband. It was a small victory, but it strengthened her resolve to stay vigilant. She knew she would do whatever it took to keep her son safe and happy, now and always.
