I Signed Away Eight Million To Leave Him Chapter 37
After my father was convicted, Sloane’s version of events collapsed.
The “witness” she had brought forward had not only been found guilty of killing his wife but had also publicly accused her of paying him for the interview.
The network that had first aired the program pulled every segment and issued me a written apology.
Other outlets began publishing corrections, line by line.
Sloane still tried to hold out.
Not until the European family she was engaged to announced the engagement was off did she contact my lawyer again.
This time, she did not ask for confidentiality.
Under the settlement agreement, she was required to return to the same program where she had first accused me and issue a public correction in the same time slot.
She also had to pay all legal fees, damages, and stop referring to me or my family in any way.
I watched the broadcast only once.
Sloane sat in the same seat as before. There was no father beside her now, and no Graham.
Reading from a prepared statement, she said:
“Mara Ellis did not receive the eight-million-dollar trust.”
“Her home was purchased jointly by her and her spouse.”
“While he was alive, Graham Vale was the one who repeatedly contacted Mara and was subject to a court-issued restraining order.”
“My statements that Mara coerced or manipulated Graham had no factual basis.”
