Chapter 12 - The Fall of the Attorney
Agent Harris slapped heavy steel handcuffs onto Arthur Vance.
The high-priced defense attorney screamed in sheer total shock.
"You can't arrest me! I am senior legal counsel!"
"You just attempted to enforce a fraudulent order, Arthur."
Agent Harris stated coldly, pushing him toward the doorway.
"And you are an accessory to attempted capital murder."
The local police officers surrendered their badges to Harris.
They agreed to testify against the Vance family network.
They walked out of the room under federal escort guard.
I sank back against my pillows, taking deep breath.
The nanny camera footage had saved my life tonight.
My habit of recording suspicious events had exposed them.
Ten minutes remained before midnight on the clock display.
The digital clock on wall ticked steadily toward twelve.
Eleven fifty PM displayed in glowing red LED numbers.
The hospital room door opened gently once again now.
Doctor Miller walked in carrying a legal digital tablet.
Beside her walked the Chief District Attorney of state.
District Attorney Thomas held an official legal seal folder.
"Mrs. Emily Vance, good evening," District Attorney Thomas greeted.
"We reviewed your cloud video footage at headquarters."
"The state judge revoked all Vance family authority permanently."
"And I am here to witness your official trust transfer."
He set the digital tablet onto my bedside tray table.
The screen displayed the ten-million-dollar estate account.
A green button flashed on screen: CLAIM INHERITANCE ASSET.
I looked at the clock on the wall above door.
The red numbers shifted from eleven fifty-nine to twelve.
Midnight had officially arrived on my thirtieth birthday date.
I pressed my thumb onto the digital scanner screen.
The tablet chimed green with a loud, pleasant tone.
"TRANSFER COMPLETE: TEN MILLION DOLLARS DEPOSITED."
Tears of joy flooded my eyes as I smiled.
My mother's legacy was safe in my hands forever.
My baby was safe from their evil corporate hands.
Justice was finally delivered to those who harmed us.
The long nightmare was coming to an official end.
