Chapter 9 - The Federal Warrants
The heavy glass entrance doors swung open once more.
Walking into the gala were four federal agents in dark suits, accompanied by two uniformed police officers and the District Attorney himself, Marcus Vance—the nephew of the corrupt lawyer who had helped Miranda hide the will.
Marcus Vance carried a sealed leather folder and a set of arrest warrants.
"Miranda Sterling," the DA announced, his voice carrying absolute authority across the room. "You are under arrest for grand larceny, forgery, conspiracy to defraud, and corporate embezzlement."
"This is ridiculous! I am a Sterling!" Miranda screamed, her voice echoing pathetically off the high ceilings. "You can't touch me!"
"You're not a Sterling," Valerie spoke up, her voice ringing clear and steady. "My mother was. Which means everything in your house, every share in Sterling Enterprises, and every cent in your bank accounts belongs to me."
