Chapter 14 - Marcus Tried to Destroy Adrian One Last Time—But the Woman He Had Underestimated Walked Into Court Carrying the Evidence That Ended His EmpireThe trial became the biggest criminal investigation Chicago had seen in decades.
Marcus's network collapsed.
Officials resigned.
Businesses were seized.
Adrian testified.
So did my father.
So did Margaret.
And finally, I testified.
Marcus looked at me from across the courtroom.
“You destroyed everything.”
I shook my head.
“No.”
“You did.”
“No.”
I looked at Adrian.
“He destroyed himself.”
Marcus was convicted.
The Hargrove criminal organization ended.
Adrian kept only the legitimate businesses.
And for the first time, he was free.
Not powerful.
May you like
Not feared.
Free.
