Chapter 12 - Chloe Attempts To Flee The Historic Boston Mansion
Outside in the circular driveway, Chloe frantically pulled the door handle of her luxury sports car, cursing under her breath.
Her key fob blinked red repeatedly, refusing to unlock the ignition system due to an emergency federal asset freeze order.
“Damn it! Open up!” she screamed, slamming her fist against the tinted window of the vehicle in pure fury.
Two federal agents stepped out from the shadows of the stone portico, blocking her path toward the estate gates.
“Ms. Sterling, your personal accounts and vehicles are seized under federal warrant number 88-B,” the lead agent informed her flatly.
“You can’t do this to me! I’m a Sterling! My family owns half of Boston!” Chloe shrieked hysterically.
“Your family owned a criminal enterprise built on fraud and embezzlement,” the agent replied, stepping closer.
Chloe backed away toward the mansion steps, realizing she was completely stripped of her social standing and wealth.
There were no more designer dresses to buy, no more exclusive galas to attend, and no more protectors to bail her out.
