Chapter 7 - The True Heiress
The cinematic tension in the penthouse boardroom was completely paralyzing.
"I'd like to introduce you to the true owner of this empire," Walter announced, stepping back and gesturing toward the heavy double doors.
The doors slowly pushed open.
A collective gasp echoed across the boardroom. Colin completely stopped breathing. The air in his lungs violently turned to absolute ice. The color instantly, violently drained from his perfectly contoured cheeks, leaving him looking like a terrified ghost.
Walking into the boardroom was Hannah.
But she wasn't wearing a modest dark blue dress, and she certainly didn't look like a penniless housewife. She wore a breathtaking, custom-tailored, sharp black business suit. Her brunette hair was styled in a flawless, powerful blowout, and she radiated absolute, undeniable, untouchable corporate power.
She walked with explosive, cinematic grace directly toward the head of the table.
Walter Fenwick bowed his head slightly in profound, unshakeable respect.
"Welcome back, Ms. Fenwick," Walter greeted her smoothly.
Colin’s entire reality violently collapsed into dust. His highly tactical mind desperately tried to process the impossible. His wife’s maiden name was Fenwick. She had told him she was estranged from her middle-class family.
