Chapter 6 - The Fall of the MagistrateWith a single keystroke, Lucas transmitted the server logs onto the massive home theater screen mounted above the fireplace.
The screen instantly lit up with crystal-clear video footage of Tabitha, Sarah, and Chloe conspiring in the dining room late last night, explicitly detailing their plan to commit medical neglect, weaponize a corrupt judge, and illegally transfer patent rights to Marcus Vance.

The color instantly drained from Judge Sterling’s face. He dropped his gavel, his hands shaking violently as he stared at the screen. "Wh-What is this? This is inadmissible! A violation of privacy!" Judge Sterling stammered, scrambling to gather his papers.

"Judge Sterling, you are under arrest for accepting bribes, judicial corruption, and conspiracy to obstruct justice," the lead federal agent declared, placing heavy steel handcuffs onto the trembling magistrate.
Simultaneously, two officers stepped toward Tabitha and Sarah. Tabitha shrieked in absolute rage, attempting to claw at the officers, while Sarah collapsed onto the floor in tears, finally realizing the full, horrifying magnitude of her own betrayal. Chloe tried to run toward the exit, but her path was blocked by federal agents who promptly confiscated her phone and slapped cuffs on her wrists as well.
