Chapter 5 - Robert Secures The Perimeter With Unyielding Resolve
Inside the private recovery room of the federal medical center, Sarah rested peacefully under the watch of specialized physicians.
Robert stepped out into the quiet corridor, walking toward a private alcove to confer with the lead federal investigator.
Agent Miller stood waiting by the window, holding a thick manila folder filled with financial records and preliminary evidence.
“Mr. Robert, your daughter is stable, and the preliminary medical reports confirm severe physical abuse over several months,” Miller stated quietly.
Robert’s jaw tightened, his silver beard bristling as a cold, controlled fury burned deep within his chest.
“Tyler thought he could hide behind his corporate title and high-society connections in this state,” Robert growled in a low voice.
“He didn't just abuse your daughter, Mr. Robert; our cyber division is uncovering massive financial fraud and international shell companies,” Miller revealed.
“What kind of financial fraud? How deep does this rabbit hole go?” Robert asked, narrowing his eyes at the investigator.
“Tyler’s shipping conglomerate has been moving illicit funds through offshore accounts for years, using family assets as cover,” Miller explained.
Robert crossed his arms over his chest, his navy blue polo shirt stretching slightly across his broad, athletic shoulders.
“That explains why he was so desperate to keep Sarah isolated inside that mansion away from our family,” Robert realized aloud.
“Precisely. He couldn't risk her finding out about his federal investigations or threatening his corporate empire,” Miller agreed.
“I want every single asset frozen immediately so he has no way to post bail or hire high-priced fixers,” Robert demanded.
“Already done. Federal judges have issued a total freeze on all Vance-Sterling corporate and personal accounts nationwide,” Miller assured him.
Robert nodded slowly, feeling a grim sense of satisfaction as the legal net tightened around his son-in-law.
“Keep me informed of every new development, Agent Miller. I want to ensure he stays behind bars permanently,” Robert instructed.
“You have my word, sir. The federal government is fully committed to seeing this prosecution through to the maximum sentence,” Miller promised.
Robert turned back toward Sarah’s hospital room, his mind racing with plans to rebuild her life from the ground up.
