Chapter 19 - Federal Marshals Arrest Ethan And Michael In The Ballroom
“Your reign of fraud and attempted murder is officially over, Ethan,” Richard’s voice boomed clearly through the ballroom microphone.
Ethan backed away from the podium, his face drained of all color as he looked frantically for a side exit from the stage.
