Chapter 5 - Federal Agents Arrive At The Suburban Residence Front Door
Before Evelyn could take another step toward the grand foyer, the sharp sound of heavy knocking rattled the front entrance doors.
Two uniformed officers from the local police department stood on the porch alongside three federal agents wearing dark tactical windbreakers.
Lead Agent Thomas stepped into the entryway, holding a red-stamped federal search warrant issued by the United States District Court.
“Evelyn Vance and Chloe Vance?” Agent Thomas announced, his loud, booming voice commanding immediate and total silence in the room.
“You are both under federal arrest for wire fraud, identity theft, and grand larceny involving interstate banking operations.”
Chloe let out a high-pitched shriek as a female officer stepped forward, grabbing her arms and securing steel handcuffs around her wrists.
Evelyn backed away toward the fireplace, her face completely pale as she realized her political connections could no longer protect her.
“Mark! Tell them this is a mistake! Call your legal team!” Evelyn pleaded frantically as the officers stepped forward to restrain her.

Mark stood beside Sarah and Toby, his arm wrapped tightly around his wife’s shoulders as he watched his relatives being secured.
“It’s not a mistake, Mom,” Mark replied coldly. “I was the one who submitted the financial evidence to the Justice Department this morning.”
