Chapter 24 - Watching the former high society couple face public bankruptcy as their remaining assets are auctioned off to pay federal fines today.
In a cold public auction room in downtown Chicago, the luxury items and real estate properties of the Miller family were put up for bid.
The couple who had sneered at Maya in the hospital room—Brandon's associates—sat in the front row, looking broken, shabby, and utterly defeated.
Their emerald green dresses and navy suits were replaced by cheap, plain clothing as federal marshals oversaw the liquidation of their goods.
Every piece of art, every sports car, and every luxury property was sold off to satisfy millions in unpaid federal tax penalties and court fines.
"Item forty-two: Miller Logistics corporate headquarters... sold to Sterling International Holdings for ten million dollars!" the auctioneer announced.
The couple flinched as Maya's legal team finalized the purchase, acquiring the very building where Brandon had once plotted his greedy schemes.
Arrogance and cruelty had led to absolute financial and social destruction, leaving them with nothing except public shame and bitter regret.
