Do You Want to Know the Truth?

Margaret, was not, by nature, a suspicious woman. She was happy with her husband, a businessman who had been assigned to the Thailand branch of the company. The pay was good and they lived in a large condominium complex for expatriates. Their only child, a daughter, had just gone to Oxford to study law. It was a good life. A great life, for Margaret.

.

It wasn’t until a few months ago until Margaret began to notice something different about her husband. He was evasive and less jolly – for her husband was a jolly, happy man who usually had a cheerful demeanour, which was why he was well liked by his colleagues at the office.

.

She tried talking to him first, but to no ava

il. He became even more evasive, making her doubt him more. She tried following his whereabouts to discover if he might have a secret tryst with some new woman he met – after all, she was not young any longer, and while she was very good looking and fit for her age, in her head, nothing pleased a man like the flesh of a young woman. But her surveillance yielded nothing but business meetings and harmless errands. But still her intuition still pointed out the there was definitely something amiss and she had to know what it was.

.

Finally, she hired a detective agency to investigate. We found out that her husband was indeed seeing someone, although it was more of a sad, unfortunate incident than a full-blown passionate affair. You see, her husband had gotten a bit drunk in one hi

s nights out with his co-executives who had prevailed upon him to go to a high class go-go bar. He did not frequent such establishments (except for a number of times during his youth) but having said no too many times and not desiring to offend his colleagues, he said yes. When he was sufficiently drunk, one of the girls (there were three, it turned out, one for each executive) posed with him in several ‘compromising’ poses with another girl taking the pictures. Three days after that bar incident, he received a plain brown envelope that had the pictures of him and the go-go girl. A certain

amount had to be deposited, no police, of the wife would get an envelope of her own. He did as he was asked, but two weeks later, he was asked for another payment. Blackmail at its finest.

.

Margaret was happy that her husband was not cheating for her, and let go the seemingly minor fact the he got himself drunk in a go-go bar. She was distraught though, at the prospect of her husband being manipulated that way, so once again, she asked for our help. We did track down the people responsible and turned them over to the local authorities, and Margaret is back to her good and beautiful life, with her husband swearing off go-go bars forever.

Not all stories end this way. Margaret was lucky that her husband was not cheating on her. But had she not consulted us, the problem could have gotten much bigger than it did, and her husband would be like a puppet on string for a long time. It really pays to have dedicated professionals on the job, so that things get done quietly and efficiently.
