1:30
no rent a close-knit family and a clear
1:33
plan for Jon and Bill to inherit the
1:35
farm 55% for Jon 45% for Bill since Jon
1:39
took on more responsibility managing the
1:41
operation alongside his day job life
1:44
seemed perfect jon and Connies
1:46
marriage was filled with love and
1:47
laughter their kids were thriving jon's
1:50
job was solid and the farm was
1:52
flourishing it was the kind of life most
1:54
people dream of a happy family a
1:56
beautiful home and a legacy to pass down
1:59
but as you'll soon see even the most
2:00
perfectl looking lives can hide dark
2:02
secrets about 3 years ago everything
2:04
changed bill who'd always been a bit
2:07
careless about his health got
2:08
devastating news he had cancer by the
2:12
time it was diagnosed it had spread and
2:14
the treatments chemo and radiation took
2:17
a brutal toll yet Bill true to his
2:20
stubborn spirit kept working on the farm
2:23
earlier this year he lost his battle
2:26
leaving Jon and the family heartbroken
2:28
jon had always been Bill's rock helping
2:31
him overcome alcoholism from four years
2:32
prior and navigating tax issues that
2:34
Bill struggled to handle alone
2:37
they were more than brothers they were
2:39
best friends the kids adored their crazy
2:42
uncle Bill and Connie loved him like
2:44
family too or so Jon thought after
2:47
Bill's funeral Jon took on the role of
2:49
executive of his estate it was a tough
2:52
job sorting through Bill's possessions a
2:55
motorcycle a truck a modest checking
2:57
account and a life insurance policy
3:00
about 2 weeks later while going through
3:02
paperwork at Bill's carriage house Jon
3:04
stumbled across something shocking a
3:06
bank statement from an out of town
3:08
account with a balance of over $70,000
3:11
but what stopped him cold was the
3:13
beneficiary listed Joe John's youngest
3:15
son marked as payable on death jon's
3:18
mind raced why would Bill make Joe of
3:21
all people the beneficiary
3:24
bill didn't have a closer bond with Joe
3:26
than with Jon's other kids if anything
3:28
he was tighter with the older ones
3:30
confusion turned to suspicion
3:33
why had Bill opened this account just a
3:35
month after Joe was born depositing
3:37
money every 2 weeks for 17 years the
3:40
pieces didn't add up and a dark thought
3:42
crept in could Joe be Bill's son had
3:45
Connie and Bill had an affair jon's
3:48
world started to crack he wanted to
3:50
confront Connie and tell his parents but
3:52
he held back needing answers first the
3:55
next day as executive he visited the
3:57
bank and confirmed the accounts details
3:59
the consistent deposits starting right
4:01
after Joe's birth only deepened his
4:04
unease that night unable to sleep Jon
4:07
returned to Bill's house desperate for
4:09
clues hours of searching led to a
4:12
discovery that shattered him two old
4:14
photos of Connie one topless the other
4:17
naked both taken in Bill's bedroom
4:19
devastation anger and confusion
4:21
overwhelmed Jon he stayed at Bill's
4:24
house for hours torn between tears and
4:26
rage when Connie called to check on him
4:29
he went home but couldn't bring himself
4:30
to confront her yet he needed time to
4:33
process the betrayal the next day he
4:36
took the afternoon off and met his
4:37
parents at the farm office he showed
4:39
them the bank statement and the photos
4:42
their shock mirrored his own maybe even
4:44
surpassed it they couldn't believe
4:46
Connie the woman they'd welcomed his
4:48
family could do this
4:50
jon's mom urged him to hear Connie out
4:52
but he was already leaning toward
4:54
divorce that evening Jon brought Connie
4:56
to Bill's house under the pretense of
4:57
helping clean once there he sat her down
5:00
and handed her the bank statement she
5:03
was impressed by the money but didn't
5:04
notice anything odd until she read Joe's
5:07
name as the beneficiary her voice
5:09
faltered and her face betrayed her guilt
5:12
jon pressed her asking if she had
5:14
anything to confess she denied it at
5:16
first but when he showed her the photos
5:18
she broke tears streaming she ran to the
5:22
bathroom vomiting from the stress 15
5:24
minutes later Connie confessed 18 years
5:26
ago she'd had a brief affair with Bill
5:28
lasting just a few weeks she called it a
5:31
foolish selfish mistake and swore it
5:33
ended quickly she insisted she'd kept
5:35
her distance from Bill ever since only
5:37
interacting when others were around when
5:40
Jon asked if Joe was Bill's son she
5:42
adamantly said no claiming Joe was his
5:45
biologically and because you raised him
5:48
her words felt contradictory and Jon
5:50
wasn't buying it he left her there
5:53
telling her not to come home until she'd
5:54
pulled herself together he didn't want
5:56
the kids to see her like that that night
5:58
they slept in the same bed but when
6:00
Connie tried to cuddle Jon turned away
6:01
unable to bear her touch the next day he
6:04
met with his parents again confirming
6:06
his plan to divorce Connie his mom asked
6:09
if that's what he truly wanted and
6:10
though he admitted it wasn't he couldn't
6:12
trust her anymore the betrayal had
6:15
killed his love for her later he
6:17
confronted Connie at home telling her he
6:19
wanted a divorce she broke down begging
6:22
for forgiveness insisting Joe was his
6:24
and that the affair was ancient history
6:27
but to Jon the timing didn't matter the
6:30
betrayal was just as raw jon met with
6:32
the farm's attorney who referred him to
6:34
a divorce lawyer the farm's corporate
6:36
structure set up by his parents
6:38
protected it from being split in the
6:40
divorce a relief amid the chaos but
6:43
because Connie hadn't worked outside the
6:44
home Jon might have to pay spousal
6:46
support for at least 5 years even with
6:48
her infidelity
6:50
the laws the attorney explained often
6:53
favored women in these cases money
6:55
wasn't Jon's concern though he just
6:57
wanted out that weekend Jon faced the
7:01
hardest part telling the kids he started
7:04
with Joe taking him to a quiet spot by
7:06
the creek on the farm joe was devastated
7:09
asking if Jon would still love him if he
7:11
wasn't his biological son jon reassured
7:14
him that his love was unconditional
7:16
emphasizing that this was between him
7:17
and Connie not Joe or his siblings they
7:20
talked for hours and Joe asked for time
7:22
to process before telling the others jon
7:25
agreed and they kept up appearances at
7:27
home playing games by the pool to
7:29
maintain normaly the next day after
7:31
church Jon gathered the kids on the back
7:33
patio without Connie present he shared
7:36
the truth about her affair and his
7:38
decision to divorce the kids were
7:40
stunned then angry then heartbroken
7:43
julie the youngest was so upset she said
7:45
she wanted to cut ties with her mom jon
7:48
urged them to consider Connies
7:50
perspective and not make rash decisions
7:52
reminding them she was still their
7:54
mother he also proposed DNA tests for
7:56
peace of mind assuring them his love
7:58
wouldn't change regardless of the
8:00
results that evening Connie met with the
8:02
kids in a tearful conversation they
8:04
expressed their love but admitted their
8:06
view of her had shifted forgiveness
8:08
seemed far off connie moved to the guest
8:11
room and for 8 months she begged Jon to
8:13
reconsider suggesting counseling he
8:15
stayed firm meanwhile a developer
8:18
offered to buy the farmhouse in 80 acres
8:20
a deal too good to pass up
8:23
john Connie and the two youngest kids
8:25
relocated with Connie moving into a
8:27
three-bedroom apartment
8:29
she spiraled into depression needing

he now lives there with Julie and Joe
8:37
who split time with their mom the DNA
8:39
tests confirmed all the kids are J's

8:44
still stings connie wants to reconcile
8:47
but Jon feels only obligation not love
8:51
he treats her with respect for the kid's
8:53
sake but keeps his distance the mystery
8:55
of why Bill named Joe as his beneficiary
8:57
lingers connie swears they never
8:59
