Chapter 13 - The Ambush
News of Clara's partnership with Victor leaked.
Patricia, now living in a modest apartment, flew into a rage.
"How dare she."
"How dare she work with a Sterling."
Andrew tried to calm her.
"Mother, we're finished. There's nothing we can do."
"There's always something."
She picked up her phone.
"I still have connections. People who owe me favors."
"People who can hurt her."
Andrew grabbed her wrist.
"No. You're not dragging me into this again."
"Andrew, we're nothing. We're less than nothing. She took everything."
"And you gave her every reason to."
Patricia made the calls anyway.
She reached out to old allies.
People who still feared the Whitlock name.
People who would do anything for money.
She hired a private investigator to dig into Clara's past.
She wanted dirt.

She wanted leverage.
She wanted revenge.
