Chapter 13 - Federal Marshals Lock Down Every Exit of the Property

With all suspects contained and primary evidence secured, federal marshals established an ironclad perimeter around the estate.
Transport vans pulled up to the front entrance, their heavy doors sliding open to receive the federal prisoners.
Estate staff and wedding guests were systematically interviewed and cleared to leave through the rear service gates.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Vance; our field office will follow up for formal depositions tomorrow,” Agent Vance said.
“Thank you for your rapid response, Agent Vance; my family owes you everything,” Ethan replied sincerely.
Clara stood up slowly, leaning on Ethan’s arm as they walked toward the private family wing away from the commotion.
“You’re safe now, my love; the nightmare is finally over,” Ethan whispered, kissing her forehead tenderly.
Outside, the heavy rain began to wash clean the Connecticut estate grounds, symbolizing a fresh and secure beginning.
