Chapter 9 - The Handcuff VerdictMarcus Vance stepped forward, connecting a laptop to the courtroomâs digital audio system.
The former fire chiefâs recorded confession played loud and clear through the speakers, followed by high-resolution scans of the twelve-million-dollar offshore wire transfers Victoria had executed using forged signatures.
Victoriaâs high-priced lawyers looked at the screen, closed their notebooks, and stepped three feet away from her, completely abandoning her defense!
âThis is a lie! Sheâs insane!â Victoria shrieked, pointing a trembling finger at me. âChloe, tell them!â
Chloe sat frozen in her chair, tears spilling out from under her sunglasses, unable to utter a single word. The golden twin had completely collapsed under the weight of her familyâs wicked lies.
Two armed state troopers stepped through the side doors, holding federal arrest warrants.
âVictoria Vance,â the lead trooper declared firmly, snapping steel handcuffs around her wrists. âYou are under arrest for attempted murder, first-degree arson, grand larceny, and corporate fraud.â
Victoria screamed obscenities as she was dragged out of the courtroom in full view of national television news camera crews!
