Chapter 9 - The Cornered Rats
Extreme panic instantly rippled through the grand ballroom as wealthy guests aggressively noticed the armed men heavily blocking the exit doors.
Ewald’s sweaty face was bright purple with extreme rage, his wild eyes locked onto the giant projector screen.
"I loudly said turn it off, Sterling!" Ewald shouted violently, his harsh voice heavily echoing over the terrified murmurs.
Mr. Sterling stood completely unfazed and highly confident at the beautiful wooden podium.
"I am incredibly afraid I cannot do that, Ewald," Mr. Sterling replied smoothly and loudly.
"The broadcast is permanently locked, and it is currently streaming live to absolutely every major news network."
On the massive screen, the highly illegal hidden camera footage played completely flawlessly.
It perfectly showed Ewald and Bianca standing menacingly over Alexander’s forged financial documents.
"When he horribly goes down for the massive fraud, we permanently take full control of his assets," the recorded version of Bianca said with a wicked laugh.
"And what exactly about his annoying mother?" the recorded Ewald asked loudly.
"If she ever gets in the way, I will personally aggressively push her down a flight of stairs," Bianca’s recorded voice spat violently.
The real Bianca stood entirely frozen in the direct center of the ballroom, the color completely drained from her terrified face.
The wealthy guests totally surrounding her heavily recoiled in massive disgust, backing rapidly away from her as if she were highly diseased.
Lydia desperately tried to hide her ugly face behind a borrowed clutch purse, but the massive damage was fully done.
"You maliciously set us up!" Bianca screamed incredibly loudly, looking wildly around the large room.
She finally spotted Alexander and me standing proudly on the dark balcony far above.
"You absolutely did this, you incredibly evil old witch!" she shrieked loudly, pointing a heavily trembling finger directly at me.
"No, Bianca," I said incredibly clearly, my steady voice carrying beautifully over the total silence of the shocked room.
"You proudly built this massive trap entirely with your own greed, I totally just handed you the rope."
Ewald violently pulled a massive gun directly from his tailored jacket, aiming it blindly and wildly toward the stage.
"I am absolutely not going to federal prison because of a dirty cleaning lady!" Ewald roared insanely.
Before he could forcefully pull the trigger, the heavy double doors aggressively burst fully open completely behind him.
A heavily armed, highly tactical SWAT team violently swarmed entirely into the ballroom, shouting massive, loud commands.
"Drop the weapon right now!" the lead tactical officer bellowed incredibly loudly.
Ewald briefly hesitated for a microscopic fraction of a second, his fake bravado finally crumbling heavily under the crushing weight of brutal reality.
He slowly dropped the heavy gun, raising his shaking hands in total, pathetic defeat.
Officers moved in incredibly quickly, aggressively tackling Ewald's hired thugs and forcefully slapping tight metal handcuffs heavily onto his wrists.
Two officers rapidly approached Bianca and Lydia, forcefully reading them their massive rights incredibly loudly for the entire room to easily hear.
Bianca violently kicked and heavily screamed like a child as they roughly dragged her away in her incredibly expensive red dress.
"Alexander, fiercely help me!" she wailed entirely pathetically.
Alexander looked proudly down at her, completely and utterly devoid of absolutely any pity.
"Goodbye, Bianca," he said simply and happily.
The massive crowd entirely erupted in extremely loud applause as the completely corrupt family was finally hauled heavily out into the dark night.
We had absolutely won the war.

The massive nightmare was finally over entirely, and my wonderful son was completely free.
Or at least, that is exactly what I foolishly thought.
