Chapter 17 - The Boardroom Coup
At 10:00 AM on Monday, an emergency shareholder meeting convened at the headquarters of Vance Global Financial on Wall Street.
Charles Sterling sat at the head of the conference table, surrounded by six institutional investors he had bribed over the weekend.
"Edward Vance has lost his mental capacity due to family grief!" Charles announced loudly to the room.
"I move for an immediate board vote to remove him as Chairman and CEO under Section Four of our corporate bylaws!"
Before the board members could raise their hands, the heavy double doors of the boardroom burst open with dramatic force.
Edward Vance walked in, wearing his signature charcoal three-piece suit, flanked by two uniformed officers from the SEC.

Behind him walked Grace Eleanor Vance, dressed in an elegant emerald silk dress, holding a leather briefcase full of evidence.
"This meeting is officially adjourned, Charles," Edward declared, his voice echoing with absolute power. "Because you no longer hold a single share."
