Chapter 11 - Eleanor Tries To Bribe Local Municipal Court Judges
Unaware that Marcus Vance was already filing injunctions, Eleanor sat in her study dialing Judge Harrison on her private phone line.
“Judge Harrison? It’s Eleanor Sterling. I need a small favor regarding an unruly employee trespassing on my estate property,” Eleanor purred.
“Mrs. Sterling, I cannot discuss pending municipal matters over a private phone call, especially regarding property disputes,” the judge replied coldly.
“A substantial donation to your upcoming judicial re-election campaign could easily be arranged by this afternoon, Arthur,” Eleanor pressed smoothly.
“Are you attempting to bribe a sitting judge on the municipal bench, Eleanor? Because I will hang up right now,” Judge Harrison warned.
Before Eleanor could backtrack, the heavy oak doors of her study swung open without warning, pushed by municipal process servers.

“Eleanor Sterling, you are served with an emergency restraining order, a child protection injunction, and a federal asset freeze notice,” a server stated.
Eleanor dropped her phone onto the mahogany desk, her jaw dropping in utter shock as she stared at the thick stack of legal papers.
