Chapter 2 - Chloe Demands Answers About The Mysterious Young Heir
Chloe stared at the official legal document in her trembling hands, her jaw locked in absolute disbelief.
The brilliant industrial lights of the Beverly Hills garage reflected harshly off the polished concrete floor beneath her high heels.
“This has to be some kind of sick joke, Dad!” Chloe shrieked, her voice echoing sharply against the mahogany doors.
Victor didn't flinch, his charcoal-gray suit jacket buttoned tightly as he looked down at his crying, terrified niece.
“It’s no joke, Chloe; your grandfather’s will is absolute and legally binding across every state jurisdiction,” Victor stated coldly.
Toby clutched the hem of Victor’s trouser leg, his small shoulders shaking as he wiped away hot tears with his sleeve.
“He’s just an orphan we picked up from a downtown shelter! He has no right to our multi-million dollar estate!” she yelled.
Two armed bodyguards stood motionless near the black luxury sedan, their expressions carved from stone as they watched the drama unfold.
“He is the direct bloodline grandson of the primary Vance patriarch, making him the legitimate heir to everything,” Victor corrected her firmly.
