Chapter 11 - Beatrice And Marcus Try To Salvage Corporate Standing
Back inside the hotel suite, Beatrice and Marcus sat in stony silence under the harsh fluorescent lights.
The catered tables were entirely empty, the wedding cake sat untouched, and their high-society friends had long since fled.
“Call Jonathan back right now and explain it was all a misunderstanding!” Beatrice hissed, pointing an accusing finger at her son.
“Mom, he’s fired me! Arthur Sterling owns the parent company! We have zero leverage left!” Marcus screamed in frustration.
“There must be someone we know who can intervene with the Sterling fund,” Beatrice muttered desperately, dialing her phone.
Every single contact she reached out to either ignored her call or hung up the moment they heard Arthur’s name.
The social circle they had spent decades trying to impress dropped them like a toxic asset overnight.
