Chapter 2 - Daniel Cho Unveils the Real Corporate Will Documents
The heavy silence inside the historic Charlotte church felt thick enough to cut with a kitchen knife.
Attorney Daniel Cho adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes sweeping across the crowded wooden pews before locking onto Grant Sterling.
Grant stood near the front row with his arm protectively draped around Sloane, whose face had gone stark white.
“As I was saying before being so rudely interrupted, this document is not a standard estate testament,” Daniel announced clearly.
Grant forced an arrogant chuckle, trying to mask the sudden flutter of panic rising in his chest.
“Look, Daniel, we all know Emily is gone, and grieving makes people dramatic,” Grant said smoothly, flashing his practiced charm.
“Let’s just wrap up the probate reading so we can proceed with the burial arrangements as planned.”
Daniel did not blink, nor did he offer a polite smile in response to Grant’s condescending tone.
Instead, he flipped open the heavy leather folder and pulled out a secondary set of legally binding papers.
“This is an emergency corporate proxy amendment executed and notarized precisely twenty-four hours before the alleged car accident,” Daniel stated.
