Chapter 9 - Carter Tries To Block Her Exit From The Mansion

Carter slammed the phone down onto the desk, his face flushing crimson with explosive corporate fury.
“This is an outrage! I am a multi-billionaire executive, you cannot freeze my accounts without a preliminary hearing!” Carter shouted.
The marshal stepped forward calmly, sliding a thick legal document across the desk right beside the empty folders.

“Your wife filed comprehensive evidence of systemic corporate fraud, embezzlement, and asset concealment signed three hours ago,” the marshal stated.
Carter stared down at the signature line bearing Elena’s pristine handwriting, the blood draining entirely from his face.
