Chapter 7 - The Trial of Fortitude
With the insider's full confession taped and secured, the police launched a late-night raid on Arthur Coleman’s estate.
When officers smashed through the front doors, Arthur attempted to burn incriminating documents detailing his financial fraud and his systematic campaign years ago to destroy Dr. Henry Vance’s medical career.
Leo and Richard stood outside the gates as federal agents escorted Arthur out in handcuffs.
As Arthur was led past the executive car, his eyes met Leo's. The disgraced billionaire snarled, "You ruined everything, you miserable rat!"
Leo looked at him without anger, his expression cool and composed. "My grandfather told me that people who build their house out of lies always get crushed when the wind blows hard enough."
Over the next three weeks, the legal storm rocked the financial world. The evidence uncovered during the investigation not only exposed Arthur's attempt on baby Ethan's life, but also fully uncovered the conspiracy that had ruined Dr. Henry Vance twelve years prior.
Court documents proved that Arthur had bribed board members and forged clinical trial reports to steal Henry’s revolutionary medical patents, driving the noble doctor into poverty and hiding.

The court cleared Henry Vance of all past wrongdoings, restoring his medical credentials and awarding him tens of millions of dollars in back royalties and damages seized from Arthur's liquidated assets.
Meanwhile, in the hospital's recovery wing, Henry's health improved drastically under proper care and medication. His lungs cleared, his strength returned, and for the first time in a decade, he sat up in a plush armchair, watching his grandson read a medical textbook by the window.
