Chapter 9 - Clara Secures A Relentless Family Law Attorney Fast
Knowing Eleanor would retaliate the moment she regained her composure, Clara immediately picked up her phone to call legal backup.
She dialed Marcus Vance, a high-powered Manhattan family and corporate litigator known for destroying wealthy adversaries.
“Marcus Vance speaking. Who is this, and how did you get this secure direct line?” a sharp, professional voice answered promptly.
“My name is Clara Hayes. I’m currently residing at the Sterling estate, and I need emergency legal representation against Eleanor Sterling.”
“Ah, the Sterling dynasty. They’ve been dodging forensic audits for years. What’s the nature of the emergency?” Marcus asked with interest.
Clara detailed the entire altercation, the assault on her toddler, the physical retaliation, and Eleanor’s threats of illegal eviction.
She also dropped a subtle hint regarding the offshore trust documents she had quietly photographed from the estate office safe.
“You have documents proving offshore asset concealment by Eleanor Sterling? That changes everything, Ms. Hayes,” Marcus noted sharply.
