Chapter 8 - Escorted Out into the Rain
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, dark clouds rolled over the Greenwich skyline, pouring heavy summer rain onto the paved driveway.
Two private security guards stepped up to Renata, grabbing her by her upper arms and lifting her off the Persian rug.
"Get your hands off me!" Renata shrieked, kicking her heels against the floor as her short platinum pixie hair whipped around her face. "Julian, tell them to stop! You're the CEO!"
"He's not the CEO anymore," Mr. Harrison interrupted calmly, handing Julian an official board resolution. "As of 11:00 AM, the board of directors has voted to freeze Mr. Vance’s executive authority pending a forensic audit of misappropriated trust funds."
Chloe attempted to slip out toward the back terrace, but the second security guard blocked her exit.
"Miss Chloe Montgomery," the guard stated, holding open the front double doors. "Please step outside immediately. Your personal belongings will be packed and delivered to a storage facility by the end of the week."
