Chapter 12 - A Midnight Confrontation Outside The Historic Hartwell Estate
Back in New York, the iron gates of the historic Hartwell estate stood wide open under a driving midnight rain.

Adrian stepped out into the storm, walking straight up the steps and banging his fist against the massive oak front doors.
The butler opened the door cautiously, stepping aside as Adrian marched into the grand foyer like an invading conqueror.
“Where is Richard? Tell him to drop his federal injunctions right now or face total financial annihilation,” Adrian demanded loudly.
“Mr. Hartwell is still in Maine, Mr. Vale, but I am authorized to speak on his behalf,” Richard’s chief attorney stated firmly.
