Chapter 13 - Watching the traitorous husband turn against his own mother in a bitter shouting match after realizing he will take the full criminal blame completely alone.
Inside the federal holding facility visiting booth, Richard and Margaret sat across a thick glass partition holding black telephone handsets.
"This is entirely your fault, Mom! You convinced me to forge those asset transfer documents in the first place!" Richard screamed through the speaker.
"My fault?! I did it to secure our family dynasty while you played golf and spent millions on sports cars!" Margaret shrieked back furiously.
"The federal prosecutor offered me a thirty-year sentence if I don't testify that you engineered the entire extortion plot," Richard revealed bitterly.
Margaret's eyes widened in sheer disbelief 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 miserable skin?!" Margaret yelled into the receiver.
Richard slammed his phone down onto the cradle, turning his back on the glass without a single parting glance at his mother.
