Shortly after leaving Paris, Julia, Iris, Peter, and Dolph flew to Belize where they stayed for two days.
Afterward, they flew to San Diego. From the San Diego International Airport, they went to Julia’s main residence in La Jolla, California, a beautiful and affluent seaside community in the northern region of San Diego, a twenty-minute drive north from the airport.
Later, Julia had Peter chauffeur her to the local bank where she withdrew massive amounts from Jack’s personal and business accounts in New York and Switzerland. The funds were deposited into her private account at another bank, one unbeknownst to Jack. At one point, the bank official complimented Julia’s appearance.
“You look very nice today,” he said.
Julia wore a white turban with a two-inch gold pin and a pearl affixed in the center. A white blouse with a gold-and-pearl brooch, matching slacks, and low-heeled pumps complemented her outfit. However, business at hand took priority over her attire.
“Thank you,” Julia said with a tepid smile.
After the paperwork had been finalized, Julia went back to her residence. She called her stockbroker in New York and purchased many shares of several stocks that had performed poorly the last few months. Jack was sure to lose millions of dollars in toxic investments.
Mr. Reginald had returned to New York City earlier in the morning to resume business at the World Ecological Corporation headquarters.
In the meantime, Jack had flown to Switzerland. At a Swiss bank, he withdrew massive amounts from Julia’s personal account as well as their joint account, then stashed them into his safe deposit box, where some of her jewels and precious gems had been stored.
Later, he would catch the red-eye to New York.
Early the next morning, Julia had Peter drive her and Dolph to Los Angeles. Julia wanted to check on a particular property in the San Fernando Valley.
“Let us leave no stone unturned,” she said to Peter and Dolph.
Sometime before lunch, Peter drove Julia and Dolph to LA’s exclusive Westside. At the prestigious Century Plaza Towers on Century Park East, Dolph accompanied Julia to a real estate law firm called Papillo & Associates while Peter waited in the limo.
Harriet L. Weiss, one of the attorneys, assisted Julia with a form that she needed.
“I would like documentation for an ownership of property—a deed, if you will,” Julia said. “The form is for a property which I own as well as it is to certify that it has been paid for.”
Peter then drove Julia and Dolph to the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, where Julia filed for a thirty-day unconditional termination notice.
