Chapter 7 - The Paper Trail
Victor's eyes darted wildly toward the door, his chest heaving with terror. "That's... that's just standard corporate filings! It has nothing to do with Linda or her kid!"
"Doesn't it?" Mr. Gallo asked, his voice chillingly calm. He pulled out his phone again, holding up the screen to display a confidential police arson report from four years ago.
"Four years ago, an apartment complex in the East District burned down," Mr. Gallo explained, looking at Linda. "The arsonist was never caught, but the land was bought two weeks later for pennies on the dollar by Vance Tech Holdings to build a commercial plaza."
Linda gasped, placing her hands over her mouth as the horrifying truth struck her like a physical blow.
"You..." Linda whispered, looking at her former brother-in-law with pure hatred. "You burned down our apartment building... you tried to kill my three-year-old son just to take the land for your company!"
"That's a lie! She has no proof!" Victor shrieked, backing further into the corner. "You can't prove anything in a court of law!"
"I don't use courts of law, Victor," Mr. Gallo said softly, stepping closer. "I use facts."
