Chapter 7 - Victoria's Father Threatens To Destroy Ethan's Financial Empire
By three o'clock in the morning, Senator Arthur Hale arrived at the Pierce corporate headquarters in Midtown Manhattan with two corporate lawyers.
He bypassed private security, marching directly into the executive penthouse where Ethan’s business partners were frantically gathering.
“If Ethan Pierce does not return to my daughter and issue a public apology by sunrise, I will crush Pierce Global,” the Senator threatened.
“I will pull every federal regulatory license, trigger every bank loan default clause, and bankrupt your firm before noon!”
Ethan’s chief financial officer, Marcus Vance, stepped forward, holding a secure iPad displaying live financial market feeds.
“With all due respect, Senator, Ethan just authorized the immediate liquidation of his private venture shares,” Marcus announced calmly.
“He is withdrawing all corporate association with Hale Industries, effective immediately, regardless of the personal financial loss.”
Senator Hale’s jaw dropped in absolute shock, his face turning a dangerous, dark shade of purple under the office fluorescent lights.
