Chapter 9 - Vanessa's Family Lawyer Abandons Her Completely
Desperate, Vanessa dialed her personal attorney, Marcus Sterling, praying he could pull her out of the legal nightmare.
The phone rang three times before a cold, professional voice answered on the other end of the line.
“Ms. Hale, I received notice from Iron Sentinel Holdings regarding your financial freeze and domestic abuse charges,” Sterling said.
“Sterling! You have to sue Ethan right now! He froze my accounts and locked me inside the estate!” she cried.
“I am formally terminating our legal representation, Vanessa. Suing Ethan Vance is career suicide,” the lawyer replied bluntly.
“Vance? What are you talking about? He’s just a mid-level corporate manager!” she argued frantically.

“He owns the majority share of the entire logistics conglomerate that funds your family’s fortune. Goodbye, Vanessa,” the line clicked dead.
Vanessa dropped her phone, the plastic casing shattering against the marble floor as her last hope vanished.
