Chapter 2 - The Shocking UnveilingThe echo of Victoria Sterling's high heels against the marble floor was the only sound cutting through the heavy silence.
The young woman stood several feet away, stunned.
Victoria had just assaulted her after accusing her of trespassing and humiliating her in front of the guests.
"You don't belong here," Victoria had snapped.
Now Julian, one of Solmere's senior executives, slowly stood.
His eyes were cold.
"The woman you just assaulted, Miss Sterling, holds ninety-one percent of the founder's shares of Solmere International Corporation."
The room froze.
Julian continued.
"She is Eleanor Vale's daughter."
A collective gasp swept through the ballroom.
"And as of midnight yesterday, upon reaching her twenty-fifth birthday, she became the sole legal owner of this hotel—and every major asset under the Solmere name."
Victoria's face drained of color.
Phones rose everywhere.
Guests began recording.
