Chapter 17 - The Traitor Demands Control Of The Family Trust Funds
Back at the corporate headquarters, Arthur Sterling rushed down the hallway toward the executive server room.
Before he could reach the heavy steel door, someone stepped out from the shadows, blocking his path entirely.
It was Sarah—Eleanor’s godmother and trusted board member—holding a sleek digital tablet with administrative override codes.
“Don't bother locking the server, Arthur; I already hold the executive proxy signed by Robert Vance,” Sarah stated coldly.
“You’re committing treason against the company, Sarah; the federal marshals will arrest you within the hour,” Arthur warned.
“Let them try; by the time they arrive, the funds will be safely deposited in the Cayman Islands,” Sarah sneered confidently.
She swiped her finger across the tablet screen, authorizing the final multi-million-dollar transfer to the offshore accounts.
Suddenly, the red emergency lockdown alarms flashed across the hallway as the central computer system rejected the code.
“Access denied: Master executive override executed by Eleanor Vance,” the automated building voice announced loudly.
