Vance completely bypassed his high-profile corporate lawyers and immediately contacted an elite, highly secretive underground investigative team he had used in his ruthless past.

He poured millions of dollars in untraceable cash into a massive, highly illegal black-ops digital infiltration of Ellison Medical's secure private servers.

While Maddie bravely played her terrifying part, agonizingly negotiating wedding details with a smug Grant over the phone, Vance’s team aggressively hunted for the truth.

The elite hackers quickly discovered a massive, deeply hidden offshore bank account that Grant had actively used to bribe the corrupt pediatric specialists.

They found the original, completely unaltered medical records from the charity hospital, proving conclusively that Leo and Lily were perfectly, wonderfully healthy.

But Grant was an incredibly paranoid and highly dangerous adversary who constantly monitored his digital footprint with ruthless, terrifying efficiency.

Grant’s internal security system silently triggered a massive alarm, alerting him that an unknown entity was aggressively downloading his highly classified, illegal blackmail files.

Grant violently realized that Maddie had bravely betrayed him, and his twisted obsession instantly shifted into a highly volatile, completely unhinged physical rage.

He immediately dispatched a team of his own ruthless, highly armed private security contractors to violently intercept Vance’s lead investigator in the city.

A brutal, highly dangerous chase erupted through the dark, raining streets of Manhattan, completely hidden from the oblivious public eye.

Vance’s investigator barely managed to upload the decrypted, highly damning files to a secure cloud server before his encrypted phone was violently smashed.

Vance stood in his dark penthouse, staring at the glowing computer screen containing the absolute proof of Grant's massive, unforgivable crimes.

He now had the undeniable, explosive ammunition to completely destroy Grant, but exposing him publicly meant putting Maddie in immediate, terrible physical danger.

He needed a massive, incredibly public stage to trap Grant entirely, where the arrogant billionaire could not violently force his way out of the consequences.
