Chapter 9 - The FBI Raid
By 3:00 AM, federal search warrants were executed across three properties belonging to the Sterling family.
FBI agents smashed through the front doors of Victoria's luxury penthouse in Miami, seizing computers and financial ledgers.
Inside a hidden wall safe in Victoria's dressing room, agents recovered a small bottle of liquid arsenic matching the poison found in Emma's milk.
They also uncovered recorded phone calls between Victoria and her father discussing the liquidation of Vance Global assets.
"We have enough to charge both Victoria and Senator Sterling with attempted premeditated murder," Marcus reported to David.
David sat by Emma's hospital bed in Washington D.C., holding his niece's small hand as she rested under IV fluids.
"Is Victoria going away forever, Uncle David?" Emma asked softly, her eyes half-open.
"She will never hurt you again, sweetheart," David promised, kissing her forehead. "I give you my word."
