Chapter 20 - CONFRONTATION AT THE PLAZA
The next morning, Julian tracked Arthur Montgomery to the palm court restaurant inside the historic Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.
Arthur was enjoying a lavish breakfast when Julian pulled out a chair and sat directly across from him without asking.
"You've got nerve showing your face here, Julian," Arthur sneered, wiping his mouth with a linen napkin.
"You have twenty-four hours to withdraw that bogus custody petition, Arthur," Julian said, his voice deadly quiet and calm.
"Or what?" Arthur smirked arrogantly. "My sister’s trust agreement clearly states that surviving blood relatives can contest guardianship if the child is exposed to domestic violence!"
"You think using Victoria’s crime against my daughter gives you leverage?" Julian asked, his dark eyes narrowing dangerously.
"It gives me twenty million dollars from your uncle Charles once the court freezes your assets," Arthur boasted quietly.
Julian leaned across the table, his physical presence instantly intimidating the cowardly man sitting opposite him.
"My uncle is broke, Arthur," Julian revealed smoothly, dropping a financial audit document onto the table. "Charles filed for secret corporate bankruptcy in Delaware three hours ago."

Arthur’s arrogant smile vanished instantly as he scrambled to grab the audit paperwork from the tablecloth.
