Chapter 9 - Legal Documents Expose The Full Extent Of Greed
Back at the Sterling estate, the private investigator hired by Vittorio placed a thick manila folder on the library desk.
“What did you find out about Helena’s background before she married Marcus?” Vittorio asked, opening the folder.
“It turns out she had accumulated millions in gambling debts in Atlantic City prior to meeting your son,” the investigator reported.
Vittorio scanned the financial records, his expression darkening as he saw the trail of bounced checks and forged signatures.
“So she targeted Marcus specifically to clear her debts using our family estate as collateral,” Vittorio concluded grimly.
“Precisely, Mr. Sterling; she planned to divorce Marcus the moment the property transfer was finalized,” the investigator confirmed.
Vittorio closed the folder with a soft thud, shaking his head at his son’s incredible blindness and gullibility.
“Make sure these documents are delivered to the family court judge handling Elsie’s permanent custody hearing,” Vittorio ordered.
“The judge will have everything he needs to terminate Marcus and Helena’s parental rights permanently,” the investigator assured him.
