Chapter 21 - Confronting Eleanor Sterling one final time as she attempts to sell a tell all book to tabloid publishers in London.
A year later, news reached Manhattan that Eleanor Sterling was writing a controversial memoir about the family scandal.
A publishing house in London had offered her two million dollars for exclusive rights to her high-society tell-all book.
Julian and Maya flew to London, meeting Eleanor in a private lounge at the Savoy Hotel to address the threat directly.
"If you publish one single word about my children, Mother, we will release your full IRS embezzlement files to federal prosecutors," Julian warned.
Maya placed a legally binding non-disclosure agreement on the table, alongside a full pardon from the Sterling estate foundation board.
"Sign this, take your pension, and live quietly in southern France, or spend your remaining years in a federal prison," Maya offered calmly.
Eleanor looked at her son and the former maid, realizing she had been completely outmatched by their unified strength.
With a trembling hand, she signed the non-disclosure agreement, permanently relinquishing her ability to harm her family ever again.
