Chapter 9 - The True Owner
Mr. Sterling stepped flawlessly into the grand foyer, entirely unbothered by the shocked couple.
"I represent Vanguard Holdings," Mr. Sterling announced smoothly, holding up a stamped, certified legal document. "We are the legal corporate owners of this estate. And you are officially trespassing."
Brandon physically staggered backward, laughing nervously. "What? No! I own Vanguard Holdings! That's the holding company my investors set up to purchase this house for me! I am the CEO!"
"You are a severely deluded man," Mr. Sterling corrected ruthlessly, his voice echoing off the vaulted ceilings.
"Vanguard Holdings was established ten years ago by my client, Evelyn," Mr. Sterling explained, watching the blood violently drain from Brandon's handsome face. "She entirely funded your failing tech startup through anonymous shell companies. Your 'investors' never existed, Brandon. It was just your mother's money."
Melissa let out a high-pitched, horrified gasp, clutching her robe as if she were choking.
"That's a lie!" Melissa shrieked from the background, her smug entitlement completely shattering. "Evelyn doesn't have any money!"

"Evelyn owns this house. She owns your cars. She owns your company," Sterling stated coldly. "And as of midnight, she has completely liquidated all of it."
👉 Brandon dropped to his knees in pure terror, completely unprepared for the physical eviction that was about to happen.
