Chapter 14 - Sterling Attempts A Desperate Corporate Coup In Boston
Realizing his legal defense had completely crumbled, Richard Sterling dropped all pretense of corporate professionalism.
He reached into his briefcase, pulling out a pre-drafted injunction and slamming it down onto the conference table.
“You can’t prove a single wire transfer went to my personal accounts without a federal subpoena!” Sterling snarled.
“I already filed the federal subpoena with the U.S. District Court in Boston thirty minutes ago, Richard,” Adrian said calmly.
A heavy silence descended over the boardroom as federal marshals in dark suits walked quietly through the open doors.
They moved directly toward Sterling, their heavy boots clicking rhythmically against the polished marble floor.
“Richard Sterling, you are under arrest for corporate fraud, wire embezzlement, and extortion,” the lead marshal announced.
Sterling backed away from the table, his eyes wild with panic as the cold steel handcuffs clicked around his wrists.
He shot a venomous glare toward Adrian and Marissa as the marshals dragged him backward out of the executive suite.
