Victoria Vance stood at the head of the mahogany conference table, her face flushed with furious anger and humiliated pride.
"My grandfather has gone senile! He's letting a homeless vagrant steal our family legacy!" Victoria shouted at the assembled board members.

Arthur Vance strode into the room, flanked by two armed federal marshals and Chloe, who now wore a sharp tailored blazer over her shirt.
"You are no longer a board member, Victoria, so step away from that chair immediately," Arthur commanded with absolute authority.
Victoria scoffed, crossing her arms over her sapphire blue pantsuit with a defiant, arrogant smirk.
"You can't fire me! The majority of the voting shares are registered under my name!" Victoria challenged loudly.
