Chapter 12 - Isabel Faces The Press Outside Her New Tower Office

Later that afternoon, a swarm of reporters and camera crews gathered outside the main entrance of Kensington Tower.
Flashbulbs popped frantically as Isabel stepped out of her private elevator escorted by federal legal advisors.
“Ms. Kensington! Is it true you now control eighty percent of the Vance family manufacturing assets?” a reporter shouted.
Isabel paused on the granite steps, adjusting her tailored blazer as microphones were thrust toward her face.
“The acquisition of the Vance portfolio was a necessary step to stabilize regional supply chain integrity,” Isabel stated calmly.
“Will you be liquidating their historic estate, or turning it into a public archive?” another journalist asked eagerly.
“All options regarding their former personal assets are currently under review by our legal acquisitions team,” Isabel replied.
Her green eyes scanned the crowd, exuding absolute confidence, grace, and unshakable power under the autumn sun.
