Chapter 8 - The Hostile Takeover
Daniel didn't pull a weapon. A quick bullet was far too merciful for a woman who had shattered his family.
He pulled out his encrypted smartphone and dialed his Chief Financial Officer. The line picked up immediately.
“Initiate the hostile takeover of the Vanguard Group,” Daniel ordered coldly, naming Victoria’s father’s massive corporate empire.
Victoria stopped crying, her blue eyes widening in sheer, paralyzing horror.
“Liquidate their stock,” Daniel continued ruthlessly, his dark eyes locked onto Victoria's pale face. “Call in every single one of their debts. Freeze their supply chains. I want her father completely bankrupt, destitute, and stripped of every asset he owns by the time the stock market closes today. Burn their legacy to the ground.”
“Yes, sir,” the CFO replied.
“No! Daniel, please! My family has nothing to do with this!” Victoria shrieked, crawling across the floor toward his polished black leather shoes. “You’ll ruin us!”
“I am going to erase you,” Daniel corrected softly, putting his phone away.
In less than sixty seconds, Victoria went from a billionaire's bride-to-be to a completely penniless, ruined outcast. Her father’s corrupt empire was collapsing in real-time. But the financial destruction was only the very beginning of her nightmare.
