Chapter 5 - Unleashing a massive fleet of sleek black armored vehicles outside the gala as federal investigators storm the building to arrest the treacherous corporate conspirators today.
Outside the grand estate, a convoy of black armored federal vehicles lined the cobblestone driveway with red and blue lights flashing.
News reporters and local paparazzi scrambled behind police barricades, their camera flashes illuminating the sprawling white facade of the hall.
Inside, federal agents moved systematically from table to table, confiscating smartphones, tablets, and financial documents from conspiring guests.
Jessica attempted to slip away toward the service corridor, but two female federal officers blocked her path with absolute authority.
"Mrs. Jessica Sterling, you are under arrest for conspiracy, public assault, and unlawful interference with private property," the agent stated.
Jessica let out a sharp, piercing cry of protest as heavy handcuffs snapped shut around her wrists, ruining her sequined dress.
"This is an outrage! My father will sue the federal government into bankruptcy!" Jessica shrieked hysterically as she was dragged away.
Arthur Vance watched the spectacle with detached indifference, sipping sparkling water while standing beside his daughter near the US flag.
"The American justice system works slowly, Jessica, but it grinds down corruption into absolute dust," Arthur remarked calmly.
