Chapter 7 - The Removal of the Empire's Snake
Lorenzo turned back to the guards holding Victoria and Dr. Crane by the nursery entrance. His expression hardened into pure, unyielding stone.
"Take Crane to the prosecutor's office," Lorenzo commanded coldly. "Hand over every receipt, every bottle, and the entire medical record. Ensure his medical license is revoked before sunrise."
"And Victoria?" Marco asked, tightening the restraints on the crying woman in the gold dress.
"Transfer every asset held in her name back into Nico's trust," Lorenzo answered, his voice dropping into a razor-sharp whisper. "Then hand her over to federal authorities for attempted murder and conspiracy. She will spend the next thirty years in a state facility."
Victoria sobbed hysterically, kicking and screaming as the guards dragged her down the long hallway, her gold dress catching on the marble doorframe before the heavy double doors slammed shut.
The penthouse grew quiet once more. The rain outside tapped rhythmically against the glass, creating a peaceful, soothing sound inside the luxurious room.
