Chapter 6 - The Merger Ambush
Inside the top-floor boardroom of Vance Holdings, Julian Vance sat at the head of a massive mahogany table, flanked by wealthy foreign investors and corporate board members.
Beside him stood Victoria, wearing an expensive designer suit, smiling smugly as Julian prepared to sign a three-hundred-million-dollar acquisition deal using the Holloway estate as collateral.
"Gentlemen," Julian announced smoothly, raising his fountain pen over the contract. "With this merger, Vance Holdings becomes the dominant real estate firm on the East Coast."
Before the nib could touch the paper, the heavy double doors of the boardroom were thrown wide open.
Sophia walked into the room, wearing a tailored cream silk suit, her brunette hair styled in a flawless updo. She walked with complete grace and unshakeable authority, her bright, restored brown eyes looking directly into Julian's face.
The room fell into absolute, dead silence.
Julian dropped his pen, scrambling up from his leather chair as his face drained of every drop of color.
"Sophia?!" Julian stammered, his voice rising into a nervous, tense whisper. "What are you doing here?! How did you get out of the house?! Why are you looking at me like that? You can't see anything!"
