Chapter 9 - Grandmother Confesses The Deepest Past Family Conspiracy
Realizing that the federal authorities were closing in, Grandmother abandoned her defensive posture completely.
“You think you’ve won, don't you, Eleanor? You think you can waltz into this family and take everything?” Grandmother sneered.
“I didn't want your money, Victoria; I wanted a safe home for my daughter, which you tried to destroy,” Eleanor answered calmly.
“Victoria fabricated every single rumor about your background before you even married Thomas,” Grandmother confessed bitterly.
Thomas snapped his head toward his mother, horrified by the casual admission of calculated domestic sabotage.
“You knew who she was all along? You approved our marriage just to keep tabs on me?” Thomas demanded in disbelief.
“We needed an heir with clean corporate lineage, and you fell in love with a commoner,” Grandmother spat with venom.
Sergeant Miller motioned to the backup officers standing near the French doors of the elegant dining room.
“Victoria Vance, you are under arrest for conspiracy, extortion, and obstruction of justice,” Sergeant Miller commanded.
