Chapter 13 - Jessica Attempts To Flee The Opulent Charity Gala
Realizing her association with Richard made her an immediate target for federal investigators, Jessica turned to run.
She hiked up her emerald green gown and sprinted toward the side service exit of the ballroom.
Before she reached the brass-trimmed doors, two U.S. Marshals stepped out from the shadows to block her path.
“Where do you think you're going in such a rush, Ms. Vance?” Agent Miller asked with a cold smile.

He snapped a pair of steel handcuffs around her wrists, cutting off her frantic attempts to push past them.
“Get these filthy cuffs off my designer dress! Do you know who my family is in this state?” she screamed.
“We know exactly who you are, and right now you're just another co-conspirator facing federal indictment,” Miller replied.
