Chapter 10 - Robert Confronts Tyler’s Corrupt Legal Representation
The federal courthouse in downtown Boston was surrounded by media vans and reporters broadcasting live updates.
Robert walked up the sweeping granite steps, wearing a sharp navy blue blazer and carrying documentation regarding asset protection.
He had received a formal request from the federal prosecutor’s office to provide an official victim-impact statement.
As Robert entered the grand marble lobby, he found himself face-to-face with Tyler’s newly appointed defense attorney.
Attorney Sterling’s high-priced counsel, Marcus Vance, stepped into Robert’s path with a calculated, arrogant smirk.
“Mr. Robert, I assume. I represent Mr. Sterling, and I’m offering a private settlement to keep this out of the public eye,” Vance proposed.
Robert stopped walking, looking down at the slick lawyer with cold, restrained fury in his piercing eyes.
“You’re offering a settlement for domestic abuse and corporate embezzlement? You must be out of your mind,” Robert replied frostily.
“Let’s be realistic, old man. A messy trial will drag your daughter's name through the mud and stress her pregnancy,” Vance threatened subtly.
Robert didn't flinch; instead, he took one slow step forward, towering over the intimidating attorney with lethal authority.
“My daughter’s name is already cleared by federal investigators. Your client is the one facing twenty-five years in federal prison,” Robert reminded him.
“Money talks in these courts, Mr. Robert. My client has deep pockets that can fund appeals for the next decade,” Vance bluffed confidently.
“Your client’s bank accounts were frozen by federal injunction forty-eight hours ago. He’s completely broke and totally abandoned,” Robert stated flatly.
The lawyer’s smug expression faltered instantly, his eyes darting nervously as he realized Robert possessed insider knowledge.
“Even if true, we will tear your daughter’s character apart on the witness stand,” Vance hissed defensively, dropping the polite facade.
“Try it. Agent Miller and the U.S. Attorney have recorded every threat, every bruise, and every illegal wire transfer,” Robert warned.
Robert stepped past the stunned attorney, his shoulder brushing firmly against Vance’s tailored suit jacket as he walked away.
He pushed open the heavy oak doors of the courtroom, entering the chamber where true justice was about to be served.
The prosecutor nodded respectfully from the front table, motioning for Robert to take a seat in the secure gallery.
The walls of corruption that Tyler had built over a lifetime were collapsing brick by brick under the weight of truth.
