Richard Langford had spent decades buying politicians, judges, and police chiefs.

The ballroom fell silent.
Richard laughed.
"This is ridiculous."
Ruiz nodded toward another detective.
The footage from Evelyn's hidden camera immediately appeared on a large television.
There was no editing.
No missing pieces.
Everyone watched Tiffany shove a visibly pregnant woman down the stairs.
Then came something even worse.
Earlier recordings.
Tiffany bragging about bribing hospital staff.
Destroying evidence.
Threatening employees.
Laughing about making witnesses disappear.
Richard slowly turned toward his daughter.

She looked directly into his eyes.
