Chapter 11 - Corporate Rivals Move In To Exploit The Scandal
While Adrian and Marissa mapped out their legal counter-offensive, dark forces were already moving across Boston.
At a private country club in Beacon Hill, Richard Sterling sat across from rival construction magnate Julian Vance.
“Adrian is digging into the Keane trust files, Julian; if he uncovers the offshore accounts, we both go down,” Sterling warned.
Julian Vance swirled his scotch glass, a cold, calculating smile spreading across his weathered face.
“Let him dig, Richard; a man distracted by a housekeeper’s lawsuit is a man who drops his guard in the boardroom,” Vance said.
“We call an emergency board meeting for tomorrow morning and invoke the incapacity clause based on his father’s medical history.”
“Can we legally strip him of voting shares?” Sterling asked, leaning forward with sudden, opportunistic interest.
“If we prove he’s mismanaging company assets to cover up a personal scandal, the board will vote him out by noon,” Vance smiled.
The two corporate predators shook hands over the mahogany table, confident that Adrian Whitmore’s reign was finally over.
