Chapter 3 - Chloe Threatens Police Action Against Maya Immediately
Chloe scrambled to her feet, wiping crushed strawberry frosting from the hem of her expensive designer cocktail dress.
“My father owns half of this county’s district attorney office, you ungrateful little maid!” Chloe screamed furiously.
Several security guards in dark suits rushed through the grand French doors, responding to the sudden commotion.
“Mr. Vance, do you want us to remove this violent intruder from the ballroom immediately?” the head guard asked.
Julian raised a single hand, signaling the armed guards to halt in their tracks before touching Maya.
“Touch her, and I will personally strip your security firm of its corporate license by midnight,” Julian warned.
Chloe’s jaw dropped in absolute outrage as she realized the mysterious heir was actively shielding her attacker.
“Julian! She just kicked me in the jaw over a spilled dessert! Have you lost your mind?” Chloe demanded.
“The only thing losing its mind is your family’s precarious monopoly on the downtown real estate trust,” Julian retorted.
