Chapter 11 - Veronica Plans Her Grand Celebration For Friday Night
Back at the Fifth Avenue penthouse, Veronica Hale was busy reviewing seating charts for an exclusive party scheduled for Friday night.
“Make sure the champagne is imported, and clear the guest list of anyone loyal to Dominic’s old guard,” Veronica ordered her planner.
“And invite the financial press. I want cameras flashing the moment the inheritance documents are officially notarized,” she added with a smirk.
Anthony walked into the drawing room, tossing his suit jacket onto the velvet sofa with a tired yet triumphant expression.
“Pendelton just confirmed the final probate documents will clear the federal registry by noon on Friday,” Anthony announced proudly.
“Then our long nightmare of playing nice with that ruthless bastard is finally over,” Veronica laughed, pouring herself a fresh drink.
“We’ll own the shipping lines, the real estate portfolio, and the entire political machine before the weekend begins,” Anthony toasted.
They reveled in their premature victory, discussing how they would split the multi-billion-dollar empire between themselves.
