Chapter 11 - WAR IN THE BOARDROOMMonday morning.
Vance Enterprises headquarters stood against the Los Angeles skyline like a monument to power.
Inside the executive boardroom, Evelyn sat at the head of the table.
Twelve directors surrounded her.
Julian was absent.
Evelyn placed a folder in front of the chairman.
“My son is compromised.”
A murmur moved through the room.
“He has abandoned his responsibilities. His judgment is unstable. His wife is emotionally unfit, and he has become incapable of making rational corporate decisions.”
The chairman looked uneasy.
“Are you suggesting removing Julian?”
“For the protection of the company.”
The doors closed.
The vote was about to begin.
Then—
The doors opened again.
Julian walked in.
Charcoal suit.
Calm expression.
Two attorneys behind him.
A forensic accountant carrying a sealed evidence case.
Evelyn's face drained of color.
Julian took his seat.
“I'm sorry I'm late.”

He looked around the room.
“But I believe we have a few things to discuss.”
