Ex-husband Leaves Woman Penniless, Years Later She Tips Him $1 – Story of the Day
A woman is left penniless by her conniving ex-husband, then years later, she sees him working as a parking valet at a restaurant.
Jenny Carlson was 45 and she had been married for twenty-seven years. Most of those years had been happy, raising her children. That was back when Jenny believed her husband loved her.

So Jenny did, and did she get a surprise! Two weeks later, Brad breezed in. “The deal went through!” he cried.
“Can we talk tonight,” Jenny asked. “About us.”
Brad sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs nonchalantly. “We can talk now!” he said. “So… do you want a divorce or not?”
