Chapter 4 - The Cold Mother-In-Law Faces Her Ultimate Legal Defeat
Sergeant Miller stepped across the threshold, his tactical vest and badge gleaming sharply under the crystal chandelier.
His eyes swept the room, taking in Chloe’s bruised nose, the baby in the light blue blanket, and the panicking couple.
“Are you Chloe Vance? We received the automated priority distress and audio telemetry signal from this residence,” Miller stated firmly.

Eleanor rushed forward, her emerald green dress rustling as she pointed an accusing, shaking finger at the young mother.
“She is lying, Officer! This ungrateful girl staged her own injuries to steal our family fortune and custody of the child!” Eleanor yelled.

“Ma’am, step back and keep your hands visible, or you will be detained for interfering with a federal protective custody order,” Miller warned.
