Chapter 14 - THE PRESS CONFERENCE
Inside the press hall of the Stock Exchange, over one hundred journalists sat before a raised wooden podium.
Microphones from major American networks were lined up along the desk as camera shutters clicked rapidly.
Adrian stepped up to the podium, adjusting the microphone while Maya stood beside him with quiet grace.
"Thank you for coming," Adrian began, his voice clear, calm, and resonant throughout the quiet hall.
"Today, I am officially resigning from all executive roles at Sterling Financial," Adrian announced, shocking the room.
Gasps erupted from the journalists as reporters scribbled furiously on their digital tablets.
"Furthermore, my partner, Maya Lin, is filing a three-billion-dollar restitution claim against Vance Group," Adrian declared.
He pointed to a large digital screen behind him, which displayed the original 2008 maritime patent documents.
"These documents prove that Vance Group was built on stolen intellectual property," Adrian stated firmly.
