Chapter 22 - THE ARREST OF EVELYN
At 8:00 AM the following morning, federal marshals raided Evelyn Montgomery's luxury penthouse in downtown Austin.
Evelyn was sipping mimosa on her terrace when federal agents kicked down her front door with drawn weapons.
"Evelyn Montgomery! You are under arrest for conspiracy, evidence tampering, and child endangerment!" the lead agent yelled.
Evelyn dropped her crystal champagne glass, watching it shatter across the marble tiles just like Victoria's teacups.
"This is ridiculous! I am a pillar of this community!" Evelyn shrieked as steel handcuffs locked around her wrists.
The local news crews were already waiting outside the building, filming as Evelyn was loaded into a federal transport van.
Victoria, sitting in her county jail cell, watched the live television broadcast on the common room monitor in utter shock.
Her entire revenge network had been systematically dismantled by her son in less than seventy-two hours.
Victoria sank onto her thin metal bunk, realizing that Ethan was no longer her innocent little boy—he was an unyielding force.
