Chapter 12 - The Family Trust Accounts Are Systematically Drained Dry
While Leo visited his mother inside the recovery room, Michael sat in the corridor reviewing his corporate banking applications.
He opened the master encrypted dashboard for Vance Global Holdings to verify the company's liquid reserves.
His screen flashed a bright warning crimson, displaying an empty balance across all three primary operating accounts.
“That’s impossible... we had forty million dollars in liquid capital deposited yesterday afternoon,” Michael muttered in disbelief.
He dug deeper into the transaction logs, discovering that an emergency wire transfer had cleared just minutes before the police arrived.
The funds had been funneled through three offshore shell companies straight into a private account controlled by Chloe’s co-conspirators.
“She emptied the entire corporate treasury before the federal marshals even crossed our threshold,” Michael realized with horror.
His phone buzzed instantly with an incoming call from Arthur Sterling, the family’s chief legal counsel.
“Michael, we have a major emergency; the board’s emergency reserve funds have just been wiped out,” Arthur reported urgently.

“I’m looking at the transfer logs right now, Arthur—Chloe executed a complete corporate pillage,” Michael confirmed grimly.
