CHAPTER 4 — THE UNRAVELING OF RICHARD HARRINGTON
Within hours, Richard’s world collapsed.
Banks froze accounts.
Offshore transfers flagged.
Corporate boards suspended him.
News spread faster than law could respond:
HARRINGTON EMPIRE UNDER FEDERAL REVIEW
Richard stood alone in a glass office high above Philadelphia.
His phone rang nonstop.
He didn’t answer.
Because he already knew—
Harrison Cole had entered the case.
And when Harrison entered a case…
There were no survivors of the old life.
Vanessa entered the room behind him.
“Fix this,” she whispered.
Richard laughed once.
Empty.
“It’s already over,” he said.
Down below, police surrounded the courthouse.
Above them, Harrison Cole walked out of the ambulance bay into the night.
And for the first time since Khloe fell—
he smiled.
Not kindly.
May you like
Not warmly.
Strategically.
