Chapter 24 - THE TRAP IS SET
The following morning, Margaret phoned Arthur Vance at his prestigious Manhattan law firm on Park Avenue.
"Arthur, I have decided to sign the deed transfer over to Chloe," Margaret lied smoothly into the receiver.
"A very wise decision, Margaret... it saves your family from public embarrassment," Vance replied with smug satisfaction over the line.
"I insist on signing the final papers right here at my kitchen counter tomorrow evening at eight o'clock," Margaret requested.
"I will be there with the court notary and the final Swiss execution forms," Vance agreed without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Margaret turned to David and Sarah, who were waiting in the study with serious expressions.
"David, I need you to contact Special Agent Miller at the FBI field office in New Haven immediately," Margaret ordered.
"Tell him we have direct, unedited audio evidence linking a top Manhattan attorney to an unsolved 1995 homicide," she added.
"What about Chloe? She’s scheduled to be transferred to a state psychiatric facility tomorrow afternoon," Sarah noted.

"Chloe will be watching the entire execution from her cell via live video link... I want her to see her empire collapse," Margaret declared.
