Chapter 13 - Clara Hires A Ruthless New York Defense Lawyer
Cornered and desperate, Clara fired her previous attorney and retained Victor Thorne, a notoriously ruthless criminal defense specialist.
Thorne sat across from her in the penthouse study, flipping through the court summons and forensic evidence packets with a frown.
“Clara, your husband’s legal team has airtight documentation and video proof. Winning this in family court is mathematically impossible,” Thorne stated.
“I don't care about the math, Victor! Find a technicality, bribe a witness, do whatever it takes to ruin him!” Clara demanded hysterically.
“Bribery won't work with Marcus Vance; he’s a federal bulldog who eats corrupt litigants for breakfast,” Thorne warned her.
“Then we attack his business assets! My father helped fund his early tech acquisitions; there has to be a paper trail we can manipulate!” she hissed.
Thorne adjusted his glasses, a slow, cynical smile spreading across his face as he considered her suggestion of corporate espionage.

“That’s legally perilous, Clara, but if we dig deep enough into his corporate shell accounts, we might find some leverage,” Thorne admitted.
“Do it. I want him bankrupt, broken, and begging for mercy by the end of next month,” Clara commanded with venomous eyes.
