Chapter 13 - The Arrest at the Country Club
At 5:00 PM, the annual lawn gala at the prestigious Belmont Country Club in McLean, Virginia, was in full swing.
Beatrice Vance sat at the head table wearing a emerald silk gown, sipping champagne with Washington’s elite socialites.
She laughed loudly, pretending to be unbothered by her son's rebellion, boasting about her upcoming European vacation.
Suddenly, two uniformed officers from the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office walked onto the manicured green lawn.
The music stopped as the officers approached the head table, pulling a federal arrest warrant from a leather folder.
"Beatrice Vance, you are under arrest for felony child endangerment, grand larceny, and financial fraud," Officer Davis announced clearly.
The surrounding socialites gasped in total shock, snapping photos with their smartphones as Beatrice jumped out of her chair.

Officer Davis pulled her hands behind her back, snapping the cold steel handcuffs shut over her diamond bracelets.
