Chapter 7: The Fall of Victor Hale

By morning, the footage had been delivered to attorneys and police investigators.

Victor’s business partners began calling.

Then they began withdrawing.

The banks froze negotiations on a major merger. Investors demanded explanations. News of a domestic violence investigation spread through the financial district like wildfire.

Victor tried calling Laura.

She never answered.

When he arrived at the hospital, security stopped him at the entrance.

Evelyn stood beside them.

“You need to leave,”

she said.

Victor stared at his mother.

“You’re choosing her?”

Evelyn’s voice broke.

“I’m choosing what’s right.”
