Chapter 11 - Victoria Threatens Leo With A Devastating Legal Loophole
Down at the Aspen county jail holding facility, Victoria sat in a sterile interrogation room with her high-priced defense attorney.
She crossed her arms, her expensive silk blouse wrinkled from the arrest as she glared coldly across the metal table.
“I want bail posted within the hour, Arthur; I am not spending another minute in this freezing municipal kennel,” Victoria demanded.
Her lawyer adjusted his glasses, sliding a complex legal brief across the table with a troubled expression on his face.
“It’s not that simple, Victoria; the federal government has frozen all our primary assets under anti-money laundering statutes,” Arthur warned.
“Then use the prenuptial agreement clause! Leo signed a contract granting me fifty percent of the estate upon separation!” she shrieked.
“That prenuptial agreement becomes entirely void if felony child endangerment and corporate fraud convictions are secured,” Arthur explained.
Victoria’s eyes widened with genuine panic as she realized her golden parachute had just been shredded by the law.
“You have to find a loophole, Arthur! Threaten to sue him for full custody of Lily if he doesn't drop the charges!” she hissed.

“Leo has the physical evidence, the security logs, and a traumatized eyewitness; we have nothing left to bargain with,” the lawyer admitted.
