Chapter 6 - SHADOWS ON WALL STREET
At eight o'clock the following morning, the financial markets opened to shocking news that rocked Wall Street.
Shares of Montgomery Financial plunged forty percent after reports surfaced of Eleanor's criminal arrest in Westchester.
Inside a holding cell at the federal courthouse in Manhattan, Eleanor sat on a steel bench in a orange jumpsuit.
Her styled ginger hair was messily falling around her shoulders, her drop sapphire earrings confiscated by detention officers.
Her high-priced defense attorney stood outside the cell bars, shaking his head with deep anxiety.
"Ethan Vance bought out forty percent of your family's voting stock during pre-market trading," the attorney revealed.
Eleanor slammed her fist against the concrete wall, her face twisting with pure, unadulterated venom.
"I want that maid ruined!" Eleanor shrieked hysterically. "Find out where she came from and tear her life apart!"
"Mrs. Montgomery, you are facing federal child abuse charges," the lawyer pleaded. "You need to focus on avoiding prison!"
"I don't care about prison!" Eleanor roared, her blue eyes wildly frantic. "I want Ethan Vance to pay for slapping me on marble!"
