Chapter 11 - The Wealthy Elite Try To Bribe The Victims

The attorney carried an expensive leather briefcase stuffed with hundred-dollar bills and non-disclosure documents.
“Mrs. Miller, my clients are prepared to offer a substantial financial settlement to drop all criminal charges immediately,” he said smoothly.
The mother, sitting calmly with a cup of hot tea, looked at the briefcase with quiet, unshakeable dignity.
“Your clients spent years treating human beings like disposable objects for their own amusement,” she answered steadily.
“Justice cannot be bought with hush money, and my daughter's tears are not for sale in any market,” she added firmly.
The attorney blinked in surprise, unaccustomed to victims rejecting massive cash payouts with such absolute moral clarity.
“Think very carefully; fighting the Vance family in court will leave you penniless and exhausted for the next decade,” he warned.

“I am already fighting for my daughter's future, and that is a battle I will never surrender,” the mother replied coldly.
The attorney packed his briefcase in frustrated silence and walked out of the room without another word.
