Chapter 9 - The Arrest in Gold
"Turn that off! That's illegally recorded footage! It's inadmissible!" Marcus screamed, his polished corporate demeanor completely shattering into desperate, wild panic.
He tried to lung toward Michael to smash the phone, but two officers grabbed Marcus by his arms, forcing him face-down onto the marble floor right next to the spilled red wine.
"Marcus Vance, you are under arrest for felony child abuse, evidence tampering, and obstruction of justice," Chief Henderson declared coldly, snapping steel handcuffs around Marcus's wrists.
Elisa tried to back away toward the grand staircase, but the third officer stepped in front of her, pulling her hands behind her gold silk dress.
"No! Touch me and my father will destroy your precinct!" Elisa shrieked, her high-society facade falling apart as tears ruined her heavy makeup.
"Your family's clinics are currently being raided by federal agents as we speak, Mrs. Vance," Dr. Reed informed her calmly. "The paper trail is complete."
