Chapter 16 - Security Guards Block Grant While Delaney Slips Away
“Get him out of my sight,” Seraphina commanded quietly, gesturing toward the struggling CEO on the floor.
The security guards hoisted Grant up by his arms, dragging him backward up the center aisle toward the grand exit doors.
“Seraphina! Please! We can talk about this at home! Don't do this to our family!” Grant sobbed frantically as he was hauled away.
Delaney Cross attempted to slip unnoticed toward the side exit, clutching her designer handbag against her burgundy dress.
“Stop that woman as well,” Seraphina’s voice rang out sharply across the ballroom speakers.
Two female security officers stepped swiftly into Delaney’s path, blocking her exit with impassable physical authority.
“I am a corporate director! You have no legal right to detain me!” Delaney protested, her voice cracking with rising panic.
“You’re an embezzler who used corporate funds to finance personal luxury trips, Ms. Cross,” Marcus stated, stepping onto the stage.
“Federal marshals are waiting outside the service entrance with an arrest warrant for you as well.”
Delaney gasped, her legs giving out beneath her as she collapsed into a heap of expensive fabric on the floor.
