Chapter 6 - The Emergency Legal Document Found In His Suit Pocket
Garrison stood up abruptly, unbuttoning his rain-soaked tuxedo jacket and throwing it carelessly onto the leather armchair.
As the jacket hit the floor, a folded cream-colored envelope slipped out from the inner pocket, landing face-up on the rug.
He knelt down slowly, picking up the envelope and noticing the embossed gold seal of the United States District Court.
With trembling fingers, he tore open the flap and pulled out a single sheet of federal investigative documentation.
It wasn't a standard divorce filing or a minor civil suit; it was a formal indictment for interstate wire and bank fraud.
The document listed transactions totaling over forty million dollars funneled through shell companies registered in Delaware and Zurich.
And listed right beneath his name as co-conspirator was Clara Vance, his supposed ex-wife and corporate mastermind partner.

Clara hadn't just crashed his wedding to ruin his marriage; she was using him as the primary scapegoat for federal prosecutors.
