Chapter 12 - Julian Confronts His Brother Over The Corporate Betrayal
An hour later, the private elevator chimed softly, carrying Marcus Sterling up from the subterranean parking garage.
Marcus stepped into the penthouse foyer, wearing an expensive tailored suit and an arrogant smirk on his face.
“What’s with all the federal vehicles outside, Julian? Did your wheelchair finally break down in the lobby?” Marcus mocked.
Julian stepped out from the study, walking steadily across the marble floor without the slightest hint of a limp.
Marcus stopped dead in his tracks, his arrogant smile evaporating instantly as he stared at his walking brother.
“You... you’re standing? How is that possible? The doctors said you’d never walk again!” Marcus stammered in shock.
“The doctors lied, Marcus, just like you lied to the board of directors for the past five years,” Julian stated coldly.
Marcus backed toward the elevator, panic seizing his chest as he realized his entire criminal enterprise had collapsed.
“You can’t prove anything! The board voted me in as CEO legally!” Marcus shouted defensively.
