Chapter 16 - Daniel Realizes His Family Used Him As Pawn
Inside the federal holding facility, Daniel sat on a steel bench wearing an orange jumpsuit while waiting for his arraignment.
His court-appointed public defender slid a thick stack of federal indictment papers across the stainless-steel table.
“Your mother registered every single illegal asset and fraudulent shell company under your legal name, Mr. Vance,” the lawyer stated.
“What do you mean? I never signed those specific incorporation forms!” Daniel protested, his voice cracking with panic.
“She forged your signature using power of attorney documents you granted her during your college years,” the attorney explained coldly.
Daniel stared at the paper in absolute horror, realizing his own mother had used him as a legal scapegoat to protect herself.
She had planned his financial destruction all along just in case her multi-million-dollar schemes ever faced regulatory exposure.
Tears streamed down Daniel’s face as he understood the full, monstrous extent of his family’s betrayal against him.
