Chapter 5 - Julian Confronts His Personal Bankers About The Trust Fund
At eight o’clock the following morning, Julian sat behind his polished oak desk with his secure encrypted phone on speaker.
The senior vice president of the Sterling Family Trust was on the other end of the encrypted line, sounding deeply troubled.
“Mr. Sterling, we received an unauthorized corporate withdrawal request yesterday afternoon signed by Mrs. Eleanor Sterling,” the banker reported.
“Did she manage to transfer any funds out of my son’s educational trust account before it was frozen?” Julian demanded urgently.
“Fortunately, our security protocols flagged the signature discrepancy and placed an immediate seventy-two-hour hold on the transaction,” the banker replied.
Julian let out a long, ragged breath of relief, rubbing his temples to stave off a mounting stress headache.
“Transfer absolute sole control of all subsidiary accounts exclusively to my name and my son Leo’s legal registry,” Julian ordered.
“It will be done within the hour, Mr. Sterling; all of Mrs. Sterling’s digital access tokens have already been permanently revoked,” the banker confirmed.
“Thank you, Arthur; keep me updated if anyone else attempts to access those holdings,” Julian said before terminating the secure call.
