Chapter 10 - The Courtroom Judgment
Six months later, the high-profile criminal trial concluded at the downtown district courthouse.
Ethan and Allison sat at the defense table wearing orange prison jumpsuits, their former luxury completely stripped away.
Judge Harrison presided over the courtroom, reviewing the overwhelming evidence provided by Clara’s legal team.
"Ethan Vance and Allison Reed," Judge Harrison spoke firmly. "Your calculated betrayal and theft against Clara Sterling was motivated by pure greed and malice."
The judge slammed his wooden gavel down with a heavy strike.
"Ethan Vance is sentenced to ten years in state prison for felony fraud and grand theft. Allison Reed is sentenced to six years for conspiracy and wire fraud."
