Chapter 10 - The Ultimate Justice
The legal, corporate, and social destruction of Adrian was absolute, swift, and entirely uncompromising.
Within sixty seconds of Eleanor's phone call, corporate security guards flanked the banquet hall entrances, locking down the doors. Federal marshals, alerted by Eleanor's compliance attorneys, stepped into the room and served Adrian with federal indictments for corporate espionage, wire fraud, and conspiracy alongside the rival syndicate.
Adrian was stripped of his tuxedo jacket on the spot, forced into heavy steel handcuffs, and dragged out of the luxury banquet hall in front of the entire city's elite, his arrogant reputation permanently and publicly obliterated.
The corporate board members who had secretly conspired with him were immediately fired, blacklisted, and stripped of their stock options before the night was even over.
Eleanor remained standing on the stage. She calmly raised her crystal champagne glass, taking a slow sip as the remaining guests watched her with a mix of deep awe and terrified respect.
She had faced the ultimate betrayal from a man she had raised out of the dirt, and she had utterly destroyed him without raising her voice a single octave.
