Chapter 6 - The Federal Checkmate
The cinematic tension in the room was absolutely paralyzing.
Vanessa realized her entire, highly calculated, multi-million dollar extortion plot had just been completely annihilated by a single drop of blood.
"Julian, please!" Vanessa sobbed pathetically, completely dropping her high-society facade as she fell to her knees on the marble floor. "I just wanted to be secure! You're always working! I needed to know I was protected!"
Julian felt absolutely zero human empathy for the monster crying at his feet.
"You aren't protected," Julian stated flawlessly, entirely devoid of mercy. "You are completely cut off."
He didn't yell. He didn't pull her up from the floor. He simply reached into his tailored suit jacket and pulled out his sleek smartphone.
"I'm calling the police, Vanessa," Julian promised coldly. "You just committed felony elder abuse, assault, and attempted massive corporate fraud. You are going to federal prison."
Vanessa shrieked like a feral coward, aggressively trying to scramble toward the glass doors to escape into the freezing snowstorm.
But Julian moved with explosive, blinding speed. He grabbed her firmly by the arm, completely locking her in place until the authorities arrived.
The conservatory fell into a profound, heavy, and incredibly peaceful silence, save for the sound of Vanessa weeping on the floor.
