Chapter 6 - The Seizure Notice
The lead military officer stepped between Margaret and the child, handing a heavy red-stamped federal document directly into Margaret's shaking hands.
"Margaret Montgomery," the officer announced in a loud, commanding voice that resonated across the entire lawn. "By order of the United States Department of Defense and the Federal District Court, this property, all assets within it, and all connected bank accounts have been officially seized."
Margaret’s eyes scanned the top page. Her face turned from pale white to a deep, sickly green.
"This... this is a mistake! My family owns this land!" Margaret stammered, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
"You don't own a blade of grass on this property, Margaret," Claire said calmly, standing up to her full height and looking down at her mother-in-law. "The defense logistics firm you used to cover your offshore accounts was seized this morning. And the deed to this house? It belongs to the General's Trust."
