Chapter 9 - The Socialite Plots A Vicious Counter Attack Plan
Across town in a plush penthouse suite overlooking Central Park, Clara paced the floor in a silk bathrobe, smoking a slim cigarette.
Her phone rang continuously with notifications from gossip columns, but she ignored them in favor of calling her own high-priced attorney.
“Victor, listen to me very carefully; David locked me out of the mansion and threatened me with fabricated child abuse claims,” Clara lied.
“Did he file formal police paperwork, Clara? Are there physical witnesses or video recordings of the incident?” Victor asked sharply.
“Only that ridiculous Latina nanny, and she’s just a hired employee who will say whatever David pays her to say!” Clara insisted.
“If there’s video footage from their smart home system, we have a major uphill battle in family court,” Victor warned her sternly.
“Then we strike first! File an emergency countersuit claiming domestic abuse, emotional distress, and wrongful lockout!” Clara plotted.
“I’ll have the papers drafted by noon, but you need to clean up your public image before the media gets hold of this,” Victor advised.

Clara stubbed out her cigarette in a crystal ashtray, her eyes narrowing into a cold, vengeful squint of pure malice.
“David thinks he can discard me like garbage? I will drag his name through every mud puddle in the state of New York,” she hissed.
