Chapter 18 - Evelyn Attempts One Final Desperate Act Of Betrayal
Inside the federal correctional facility, Evelyn received a rare in-person visit from her remaining defense attorney.
“We have exhausted all appeals, Mrs. Sterling; unless you cooperate fully, you are looking at fifteen years minimum,” the lawyer said.
Evelyn slammed her fist onto the visiting table, her eyes flashing with pure, unadulterated hatred and malice.
“Find something on Richard! Dig up every old business deal he made in the nineties!” Evelyn shrieked hysterically.
“There is nothing left to dig up, Evelyn; your husband has already handed over all corporate compliance logs voluntarily,” the lawyer replied.
Realizing she had completely lost, Evelyn slumped back into her metal chair with a defeated, hollow expression.
Her life of luxury, high society galas, and untouchable power was gone, replaced by gray walls and steel bars.
