Chapter 12 - Discovering Secret Surveillance Footage of Previous Domestic Abuse

While preparing for the upcoming civil trial, our private investigator uncovered an even darker family secret.
He retrieved deleted cloud backups from the smart home security cameras installed in my parents' mansion.
The footage revealed that Chloe had a long history of physically abusing household staff and minor financial partners.
Worse still, it showed my mother actively encouraging and covering up Chloe’s violent outbursts for years.
They believed their wealth made them untouchable lords of a private fiefdom where laws didn't apply.
I handed the flash drive containing the new video files directly to the federal prosecutor assigned to our case.
The prosecutor whistled softly as he watched a clip of Chloe assaulting an accountant over a missing ledger.
“This completely establishes a clear pattern of violent sociopathic behavior,” the prosecutor noted grimly.
“Add it to the indictment pile,” I told him without a shred of sympathy left in my heart.
