CHAPTER 6: THE VIRAL EXPLOSION ACROSS AMERICA
Within hours of the ballroom incident, clips of Chloe standing up from her wheelchair flooded TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook across the United States. Hashtags celebrating her miraculous recovery and condemning Arthur Vance trended at the number one spot nationwide.
Talk show hosts dedicated entire morning segments to analyzing the dramatic footage, questioning why a wealthy billionaire kept his daughter confined for years. Viewers expressed overwhelming outrage online, praising the impoverished teenager who gave her the courage to stand up.
Inside the corporate headquarters of Vance Medical Group, stock prices plummeted by forty percent within the first two hours of trading. Emergency board meetings were convened behind closed doors as panic gripped shareholders and institutional investors alike.
"If we don't oust Arthur as CEO immediately, the federal government will freeze all our corporate accounts by the end of the week," the lead director warned. The board voted unanimously to strip Arthur of his executive powers and appoint an independent interim administrator.
Arthur arrived at the corporate building later that morning to find his biometric access badge rejected by the main turnstile gates. Security guards politely but firmly escorted him off the premises, handing him a formal letter of suspension from the board of directors.
"You can't do this to me! I built this company from the ground up!" Arthur screamed at the revolving glass doors in blind humiliation. Bystanders on the sidewalk stopped to stare and record his public meltdown on their smartphones, laughing at his sudden downfall.
