Chapter 9 - Arthur Inspects The Shredded Remnants Of His Masterpiece Suit
Back in his workshop, Arthur walked over to the cutting table where the remnants of his three-month labor lay scattered. He picked up a piece of the shredded silk lining, feeling the rough tears where scissors had intentionally hacked away.
It was the handmade wedding suit he had meticulously crafted for Sabrina to honor her special day. Linda and Sabrina had destroyed it to punish him, believing it would break his spirit completely.
Arthur didn't cry; instead, he carefully gathered the ruined fabric scraps into a neat little pile. He pulled out his phone and snapped several high-resolution photographs of the intentional property destruction.
This photographic evidence would serve as additional proof of their malicious intent during upcoming legal proceedings. The door to the workshop chimed, and Julian Vance stepped inside carrying a thick legal folder.
“The bank injunction was successfully executed, Arthur; Linda caused a scene at the branch this morning,” Julian reported. Arthur nodded, placing the shredded suit pieces inside a transparent plastic evidence bag.

“Let her panic; she’s realizing her million-dollar scam just hit a brick wall,” Arthur said steadily. “Are the federal subpoenas ready for Marcus Vance and his fraudulent financial shell companies?” Julian tapped the legal folder confidently.
“They will be served right in the middle of the rehearsal dinner tomorrow evening,” Julian smiled. Arthur looked out the window at the autumn afternoon, knowing the reckoning was finally arriving.
