Chapter 5 - The Poisoned Pen
I backed away from the aggressive federal agent in absolute shock and horror.
I screamed that I had never touched a drug in my entire life and that she was making a terrible mistake.
The CPS agent coldly ignored my pleas and slapped a thick medical file aggressively onto Richard's desk.
She proudly stated that they had received an anonymous tip just an hour ago regarding my severe instability.
The medical file clearly contained official blood test results proving I had lethal amounts of synthetic opioids in my system.
I desperately looked at the prominent logo stamped brightly across the top of the forged medical documents.
The fake toxicology report had been officially issued and signed by a doctor working directly inside Richard's own hospital network.
Margaret had planted a mole inside Richard's heavily guarded empire to forge these devastating documents.
Richard immediately stepped in front of me to physically block the police officers from moving any closer to the hallway where my daughters slept.
He used his immense legal authority and billionaire status to aggressively intimidate the commanding officer.
He loudly threatened to personally sue the entire city department if they attempted to remove children from his private residence without a federal warrant.
The police hesitated, fully aware that crossing Richard Bennett could instantly end their entire law enforcement careers.
The CPS agent angrily backed down but promised to return with a signed judicial warrant in exactly forty-eight hours.
They marched out of the penthouse, leaving a terrifying and suffocating silence in their wake.
I collapsed into Richard's arms, sobbing uncontrollably at the thought of losing my innocent little girls.
Richard held me tightly and swore on his life that Margaret would never lay a single hand on my children again.
He explained that we only had two days to completely expose Margaret's mole and prove the medical files were entirely fake.
I suddenly remembered a deeply important conversation I had with Michael the night before he was killed.

I looked up at Richard and told him that Michael had secretly hidden a physical flash drive containing all the real banking data.
The only problem was that the flash drive was locked inside a wall safe located deep within Margaret's bedroom.
