Chapter 6 - The Federal Intervention
The crowd of high-society guests parted instantly as the federal agents walked with heavy, deliberate steps toward the head table.
"Flynn Vance and Selina Cross?" the lead federal agent asked, pulling two official arrest warrants from his coat pocket.

"This is insane!" Fiona screamed, shoving her way between the agents and her son. "My son is the CEO of this company! You can't touch him!"
