Chapter 15 - Ryan Faces The Devastating Reality Of His Mother's Lies
The following morning, the federal courthouse in downtown Boston bustled with reporters and camera crews flashing lights.
Ryan and Emily walked up the grand stone steps, shielding their newborn baby from the aggressive media swarm.
Federal marshals escorted them through the security checkpoints straight into a secure holding room upstairs.
“Mr. Vance, the federal prosecutor wants to speak with you before you take the grand jury stand,” a marshal instructed.
A tall man in a tailored navy suit entered the room, holding a thick file labeled with confidential red markers.
“Mr. Vance, Marcus Sterling confessed to poisoning your father... and he named your mother as the primary instigator,” the prosecutor stated.
Ryan closed his eyes, absorbing the devastating final confirmation that his own mother was a cold-blooded murderer.
“She did it for complete control of the family manufacturing syndicate and the offshore trust accounts,” Ryan whispered bitterly.
“We have enough evidence to lock her away for consecutive life sentences without parole,” the prosecutor assured him.
