Chapter 7 - The Downfall of Vance
Julian handed the yellow envelope directly to Emily, his large hand gently brushing hers as she took it.
"This belongs to you," Julian said softly. "Your sister's treatment will be covered in full starting tonight. My personal doctors will handle her case at the Manhattan Heart Institute."
Emily covered her mouth, sobs of overwhelming gratitude breaking through her restraint. "I... I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Mercer... I can never repay this..."
"You don't owe me anything," Julian replied, before turning his gaze back to Richard kneeling on the carpet. "As for you, Vance..."
Julian tapped his phone once, placing it on the desk on speakerphone.
"Chief Miller speaking," a voice boomed through the speaker.
"Chief," Julian said calmly. "I have Richard Vance in custody at the Manhattan Grill. Embezzlement, extortion, mail fraud, and grand larceny of medical funds. Have your team meet my men at the precinct."
"Understood, Mr. Mercer. Squad cars are two minutes away," Chief Miller replied before hanging up.
