Chapter 6 - The Federal Guillotine
"No!" Sterling shrieked wildly, completely abandoning his arrogant pride. He dropped to his knees on the hardwood floor in front of the entire high-society crowd, completely humiliating himself. "Eleanor, you can't do this! The buyout! We need the money!"
"I'm not buying your company," Julian stated clinically, looking down at the pathetic monster on the floor.
Julian pulled his sleek, encrypted smartphone from his pocket. He didn't dial his lawyers. He dialed a direct line to the federal authorities.
"I am officially reporting massive corporate embezzlement and fraud at Vance Biotech," Julian commanded flawlessly into the phone. "I have the primary evidence right in front of me."
"Julian, please!" Harper sobbed hysterically, her cream silk dress wrinkling as she backed away from Sterling. "I didn't know the money was stolen! I swear to God, I just thought he was rich!"
"You're wearing stolen corporate assets, Harper," Eleanor corrected smoothly, her dark eyes flashing with lethal danger. "You're going down with him."
The heavy mahogany front doors of the mansion violently swung open.
Four heavily armed federal agents marched directly into the living room, bypassing the terrified wealthy guests. They walked straight toward the weeping, disgraced couple.
"Sterling Vance and Harper Hayes," the lead agent barked loudly, grabbing them both aggressively by the arms. "You are under arrest for grand larceny and massive corporate fraud."
