Chapter 13 - The Mother-in-Law’s Cold Calculation Breaks Down Completely

Down in the federal holding facility, Evelyn Moretti sat in a sterile interview room with her arms tightly crossed.
She stared down the federal prosecutor with the haughty arrogance of a woman who believed her wealth protected her.
“My son is an honorable man, and this entire kidnapping and maritime farce will be dismissed by Monday,” she snapped.

“We are the Morettis! You can't touch us!” she screamed hysterically as the recording equipment blinked red.
