Chapter 36 - echoes of treason
Even with the syndicate’s wealth completely liquidated, Victor Sterling refused to accept his total defeat.
Enraged by the absolute loss of his hidden empire, he attempted a final, desperate legal maneuver from inside the walls of the maximum-security penitentiary.
He filed a series of malicious, fabricated lawsuits against the Caldwell conglomerate, accusing Ethan of financial embezzlement to freeze the company’s operational assets.
The ensuing highly publicized media frenzy brought immense stress upon the family. However, Grace remained an unyielding pillar of strength and absolute stability.
She fiercely shielded Lily from the predatory journalists swarming the estate gates, ensuring the teenager's life remained entirely peaceful and focused.
Meanwhile, Grace collaborated closely with top legal scholars, meticulously cataloging every shred of evidence regarding Sterling’s historical crimes.
On the day of the supreme court hearing, Ethan delivered a powerful, impassioned defense of his family's honor, backed entirely by Grace’s flawless documentation.
The chief justice summarily dismissed all of Sterling’s fraudulent claims with extreme prejudice and issued a permanent injunction barring him from ever filing future litigation.
