Chapter 14 - The Corporate Board Votes To Oust Victor Immediately
Inside the downtown Manhattan headquarters of Vance Global, the emergency board meeting commenced with tense silence.
Arthur Sterling slammed his briefcase onto the boardroom table, addressing the anxious executive directors.
“Director Vance has compromised company assets by harboring an unverified minor and defying federal court injunctions,” Arthur claimed.
“We need a two-thirds majority vote to strip him of his CEO title and appoint an interim executive trustee,” a corrupted director urged.
Hands raised across the mahogany table, quickly tallying the votes required to execute the hostile corporate coup.
“The motion carries unanimously; Victor Vance is officially suspended from all operational duties effective immediately,” Arthur announced.
A digital broadcast of the board vote was instantly transmitted to Victor’s private terminal at the Bel-Air estate.
Victor watched the screen flash red with suspension warnings, realizing his corporate enemies had struck from within.
“They think cutting off my executive authority stops me from protecting my family,” Victor muttered with dangerous resolve.
