Chapter 11 - The Betrayal Inside the EmpireDavid contacted the family attorney.
His mother's most trusted attorney.
He expected help.
Instead, the man warned him.
"Stop investigating."
David stared at him.
"Why?"
"Because you don't understand how deep this goes."
"Then explain it."
The attorney looked toward the door.
"I can't."
David stepped closer.
"Did you know about the glass?"
The man's face changed.
That was enough.
"You knew."
"No."
"You knew."
The attorney lowered his voice.
"Your mother has spent thirty years building something nobody can dismantle."
"What?"
"An empire based on fear."
David felt rage rising.
"Then I'll dismantle it."
The attorney shook his head.
"David, you're not fighting your mother."

He swallowed.
"You're fighting everyone who depends on her surviving."
