Chapter 9 - Rejecting a massive multi million dollar settlement offer from an arrogant mother in law as a brave pregnant woman demands absolute justice today late tonight.
Inside the hospital conference room, Eleanor sat alongside three high-priced corporate defense attorneys wearing bespoke charcoal suits.
Across the mahogany table sat Charlotte and Ethan, flanked by senior federal prosecutors from the United States Attorney's Office.
Eleanor slid a ten-million-dollar cashier's check across the glass table, accompanied by a signed surrender of corporate claims.
"Take the money, Charlotte... sign the non-disclosure agreement and walk away from this family forever," Eleanor offered coldly.
Charlotte picked up the check, looking at the astronomical figure for two seconds before tearing it cleanly into four pieces.
"My child's safety and my family's honor are not for sale, Eleanor," Charlotte said, tossing the paper scraps onto the table.
"We are taking this case to trial, and you will answer for every single dollar you stole from this company."
