Chapter 13 - Watching the traitorous husband turn against his own mother in a bitter shouting match after realizing he will take the full blame alone.
Inside the federal holding facility visiting booth, Ethan and Eleanor sat across a thick glass partition holding telephone handsets.
"This is all your fault, Mom! You convinced me to forge those asset transfer papers in the first place!" Ethan screamed through the speaker.
"My fault?! I did it to secure our family's future while you played golf and spent millions on sports cars!" Eleanor shrieked back.
"The federal prosecutor offered me a plea deal if I testify that you engineered the entire extortion plot," Ethan revealed bitterly.
Eleanor's eyes widened in sheer betrayal as she stared at her ungrateful son through the smudged glass partition.
"You cowardly little rat... you're going to sell out your own mother to save your skin?!" Eleanor yelled, slamming the phone down.
Ethan hung up his receiver as well, walking away from the glass without a single look back at the woman who birthed him.
