Chapter 14 - The Fall Of The Patriarch
The boardroom descended into absolute chaos as board members began shouting questions at Harrison and calling their legal teams.
The lead board director, a respected seventy-year-old investor named Thomas, stood up from his chair and looked at Harrison with deep disgust.
"Harrison, you have compromised this firm's integrity, our stock valuation, and our legal standing," Thomas stated firmly.
"Effective immediately, the board accepts Eleanor's motion. You are removed as Chief Executive Officer of Vance Enterprises."
Harrison stood frozen at the head of the table, his mouth open, his hands shaking as his multi-million-dollar empire vanished in seconds.
Security guards who had worked for him for ten years stepped into the room, respectfully asking him to clear his personal belongings from the desk.
Harrison looked across the room, his eyes landing on Clara Miller standing near the door, her head held high in quiet victory.
"You ruined me," Harrison whispered, his voice cracking with defeated, bitter rage as he walked past her.
"You ruined yourself, Mr. Vance," Clara replied softly, signing the words TRUTH ALWAYS WINS with her right hand.
Harrison didn't answer; he put his head down and walked out of the boardroom, followed by his attorneys and security staff.

"It's over, Clara," Eleanor whispered. "Leo is free, and my brother's reign of terror in this city is finished."
