Chapter 8 - The Relinquishment
Emma stared at the billionaire CEO, her mind completely short-circuiting. She wasn't just a random janitor. She was a billionaire heiress who had spent her entire life freezing in foster homes while her half-brother lived in absolute luxury.
"The document on the table," Arthur the lawyer finally spoke, his voice entirely professional and devoid of morality, "is a full, irrevocable relinquishment of all biological and financial claims to the Sterling estate. You will sign away your birthright."
"And if I do?" Emma whispered, tears of shock streaming down her face.
"If you sign it," Vincent smiled, "I will transfer five million dollars into an offshore account for you, and you can walk out that door right now. You can live a very comfortable, quiet life far away from Chicago. But if you refuse..."
Vincent’s smile vanished, replaced by the terrifying, cold intensity she had seen at the restaurant.
"...you will simply disappear from this penthouse. And a janitor with no family and no friends won't exactly trigger a massive police manhunt."
