Chapter 6 - Julian Drives Through The Dangerous Flooded Highway Storm
The heavy black Cadillac Escalade plowed through six inches of standing water on Interstate 95, its heavy wipers beating frantically against the glass.
Julian kept both hands locked onto the leather steering wheel at ten and two, his knuckles white as he pushed the vehicle through the gale.
Beside him on the passenger seat, his laptop screen glowed brightly, displaying security alerts sent directly from the mansion’s primary server.
Every camera on the estate perimeter had been remotely turned off at eleven o'clock tonight, right before the storm hit the coastline.
“She cut the feeds,” Julian muttered to himself, his voice thick with a dangerous mix of deep betrayal and cold corporate focus.
“Victoria turned off the main security grid so no record would exist of her putting my mother out into the storm.”
He pressed a button on his steering wheel, dialing his personal corporate attorney, Arthur Pendelton, who had served the family for twenty years.
“Arthur! I need you to pull the land registry records for the Connecticut estate immediately!” Julian commanded into the hands-free microphone.
“I need to know if any power of attorney filings were submitted to the county clerk’s office within the last forty-eight hours!”

“Your wife’s attorneys filed an emergency petition for adult guardianship over Eleanor at four o'clock this afternoon in Hartford court!”
