Chapter 14 - Victoria Is Cornered By The Department Of Justice
Downstairs in the subterranean loading bay, Victoria was being led toward an unmarked federal transport van.
Special Agent Vance stood by the open rear doors, holding a clipboard filled with formal indictment charges.
“Sign your name here, Ms. Sterling, acknowledging receipt of your federal grand jury summons,” Agent Vance instructed.
Victoria refused to take the pen, her eyes burning with fury as flashbulbs from paparazzi outside popped relentlessly.
“My family built this city! You can’t treat me like a common criminal!” Victoria shrieked at the top of her lungs.
“Your family built a criminal enterprise on stolen funds and forged documents,” Agent Vance replied without emotion.
Two female marshals gently forced her hands downward, pressing her signature onto the official government paperwork.
The heavy steel doors of the van slammed shut with a resounding thud, cutting off her furious screams from the world.
The Department of Justice had delivered a decisive blow against corruption in the elite circles of Manhattan.
