“Vanessa! What the hell did you do?! Federal agents are raiding our corporate offices! Every bank account has been frozen! Adrian Vance has called in our entire thirty-million-dollar debt note! We are ruined! We are completely bankrupt!”
Vanessa collapsed onto her knees on the Persian rug, weeping in bitter, hopeless terror as the reality of her total destruction crushed her into dust.
