Chapter 15 - The Verdict
Trevor's financial schemes resulted in serious legal consequences.
Martin's cooperation reduced his own exposure, but his professional career was effectively over.
The fraudulent civil claims disappeared.
The attempted transfer was documented.
The stolen funds were traced.
And the Vegas "marriage" that Trevor had once photographed so proudly became one more piece of evidence showing how carefully he had planned the deception.
Outside court, reporters waited.
"Claire! Do you feel vindicated?"
I stopped.
"No."
They leaned closer.
"I feel finished."
Then I walked away.
That quote traveled farther online than anything else I said.
But I meant it literally.
I didn't want victory over Trevor.
May you like
I wanted a life where Trevor no longer mattered.
