Chapter 7 - The Stripping of Power
Maxwell Thorne adjusted his glasses, looking down at Julian with stern, cold disapproval.
"Effective immediately," Maxwell announced, his authoritative tone cutting through Julian's sobbing, "Mr. Julian Vance is stripped of his title as Vice President of Operations. All executive privileges, corporate credit cards, company vehicles, and stock options awarded to him under false pretenses are hereby revoked."
"No! You can't do this to me!" Julian shrieked, clawing at the wooden stage edge as he tried to stand up. "I have a contract!"
"Your contract was contingent on board approval, which was just vetoed by fifty-eight percent of the voting power," Sarah added smoothly. "And as for our marriage... my legal team filed the divorce petition thirty minutes ago. You will be served before you leave this building."
Julian’s sister ran up to the stage, her face twisted in hysterical rage. "You arrogant bitch! You think you can just ruin my brother's life and throw us away after everything we did for you?!"
Sarah looked down at Julian's sister with cold, unyielding disdain. "Everything you did for me? You mean taking money from my husband's allowance—which came from my personal account—to pay for your luxury vacations and designer dresses?"
The sister choked on her own words, her face turning crimson as the surrounding high-society women began laughing at her humiliation.
"Security," Sarah ordered quietly. "Escort Mr. Vance and his sister off the premises immediately. They are trespassing on private property."
