Chapter 17 - Stripping Julian of his executive titles and permanently banishing him from the family corporation with one single stroke of her heavy fountain pen tonight forever.
Later that afternoon, the emergency board of directors meeting convened in the glass-walled penthouse high above Manhattan.
Eleanor sat at the head of the conference table, flanked by federal prosecutors and her senior legal advisory team.
Projected on the massive LED screen behind her were the audited financial records proving Julian's embezzlement and tampering.
She picked up her heavy gold fountain pen, hovering it over the official corporate resolution document resting on the glass table.
"By unanimous vote of the trustees and verified lineal succession, Julian Sterling is stripped of all executive authority," Eleanor read.
She pressed the pen down firmly, sweeping her signature across the paper with absolute, unyielding finality.
"Furthermore, he is permanently banished from all estate properties and company holdings effective immediately," she added coldly.
The board members sat in stunned, respectful silence, knowing better than to utter a single word against the matriarch's decree.
Julian was currently sitting in a federal holding cell, awaiting arraignment on multiple felony counts of corporate fraud.
