Chapter 9 - The Debt Collectors Arrested
As the officers marched a screaming Vanessa out the front door, Captain Miller walked over to David, holding his radio.
"Mr. Vance, our patrol units just intercepted the black van parked three hundred yards down your estate line," Captain Miller reported. "Your fiancée's brother, Julian, was inside along with two known enforcement agents for an illegal offshore gambling syndicate."
David nodded slowly. "Did you secure my property?"
"Yes, sir. The velvet box and the necklace were recovered from Julian's jacket pocket before he could hand it over," the captain confirmed. "All three individuals are being booked under federal racketeering, extortion, and grand theft charges."
Teresa stood near the staircase, still shaking slightly from the trauma, but her face held a look of profound relief and quiet justice.
David turned to Teresa, walking over to gently place his hand on her shoulder.
"Teresa, I am giving you a paid three-month leave to rest and recover," David said warmly. "And when you return, you will be taking over as the head property manager of this estate with triple your previous salary."
