Chapter 13 - THE CORPORATE COLLAPSE
By Monday morning, Wall Street woke up to the absolute destruction of Vance Logistics, Ethan's family company.
News outlets reported that major shipping clients had canceled all contracts overnight, transferring their business to Sterling Global.

"Call Ethan's lawyers! Force him to sign the emergency asset sale!" Victoria demanded hysterically.
