"The morning bell rings at nine o'clock, and the board is scheduled to convene at corporate headquarters."
Zoe stepped closer to the table, her expression hardening into the unmistakable determination of the Sterling bloodline. "Then we don't just invalidate the will; we expose Obsidian Holdings as Adrian's personal embezzlement vehicle," Zoe declared firmly.
