Chapter 14 - Corporate Power Moves in the Wake of Family Destruction
Back in New York City, the glass towers of Wall Street shone under the morning sun.
Inside the board room of Montgomery Global Enterprises, Arthur sat at the head of a massive conference table.
Seven senior board members sat around him, looking nervous as they reviewed thick legal briefs laid out before them.
“As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Montgomery has been relieved of all corporate duties effective immediately,” Arthur announced smoothly.
“Arthur, rumors are spreading that federal prosecutors are looking into the firm’s offshore accounts,” one board member pointed out cautiously.
“Rumors are the currency of weak minds,” Arthur replied coldly, folding his hands on the table. “Our financial status remains completely solid.”
The double doors of the boardroom swung open suddenly with a heavy thud.
Two federal agents dressed in dark suits stepped into the room, followed by Detective Miller.
The entire board room fell into a stunned silence as Miller stepped up to the head of the table.
“Arthur Montgomery, you are under arrest for conspiracy to obstruct justice and evidence tampering,” Miller declared, pulling out a pair of steel handcuffs.
Arthur slowly stood up, adjusting his expensive tie with complete composure.
“On whose authority, Detective?” Arthur asked smoothly, showing not an ounce of fear.
“On the authority of your son, Mark Montgomery,” Miller answered, stepping forward. “He just handed over the original ledger from your Boston clinic.”
