Chapter 8 - The Price of Arrogance
“Camille Vance, you are under arrest as an accessory to corporate fraud, theft of trade secrets, and obstruction of justice,” the agent stated firmly, pulling her up from the floor.
“Get your hands off me!” Camille shrieked, kicking her heels against the polished marble as the officers dragged her toward the foyer. “Gabriel! You can’t do this to me! My family will destroy you!”
“Your family is bankrupt, Camille,” Gabriel called out calmly, his voice echoing through the grand hall. “As of eight o'clock this morning, Moretti Enterprise bought out ninety percent of Vance Pharmaceuticals' debt. Your estate, your assets, and your luxury holdings have all been seized.”
Camille let out a blood-curdling scream of pure humiliation as the guards marched her past the line of housekeepers and servers who had gathered in the main hall.
The very staff members she had mistreated for months watched in silent satisfaction as the arrogant heiress was shoved into the back of a black federal police cruiser.
The heavy front doors of the estate slammed shut, cutting off her screams forever.
Inside the quiet dining room, Gabriel turned to Marco. “Clean up the dining room. Dispose of that teapot.”
