Chapter 13 - Victoria Vance Approaches Abigail In The City

The following afternoon, while Abigail was picking up organic groceries from a high-end market in SoHo, a sleek black town car pulled up beside her. Victoria Vance stepped out onto the sidewalk, wearing an elegant cream trench coat and oversized designer sunglasses.
"Abigail Mercer," Victoria said smoothly, offering a polite, practiced smile. "I am Victoria Vance, a senior partner at Vance Global Holdings; I believe you know my associate, Julian Cross."

Abigail instinctively took a step back, gripping her shopping bags tightly. "Mr. Cross is my employer, Ms. Vance; I have nothing to discuss with you."
"I know all about your father's rehab bills, Abigail," Victoria said, her tone dropping into a poisonous, seductive whisper. "I also know Julian keeps a dark ledger in his library safe—give me that ledger, and I will write you a check for five million dollars."
