Chapter 8 - The Financial Guillotine
"I already have their names," Ethan replied ruthlessly, entirely immune to her fake, pathetic tears.
Ethan didn't yell. A quick outburst was far too generous for a monster who had smiled in his face while actively destroying his heart.
He pulled his encrypted smartphone from his pocket. He dialed his Chief Financial Officer, putting the call on speaker so Vanessa could hear her absolute, total devastation.
"Initiate the hostile takeover of Vanessa's father's real estate firm," Ethan ordered smoothly, his dark eyes locked onto the weeping woman on the floor.
"No! Ethan, please! My family has nothing to do with this!" Vanessa shrieked, clawing at the marble.
"Liquidate their stock," Ethan continued coldly, completely ignoring her. "Call in every single one of their corporate debts. Freeze their offshore supply chains. I want her family completely bankrupt, destitute, and stripped of every asset they own by the time the market opens tomorrow morning."
"Understood, sir," the CFO replied. "The transfer is complete. They are entirely insolvent."
Vanessa physically sagged against the floor, her entire toxic existence turning to ash. She had just cost her family their billionaire legacy. They were permanently, completely ruined.
She had tried to kill for a massive fortune, and in exactly sixty seconds, she had lost absolutely everything she ever had.
But the financial destruction was only the very beginning of her punishment.
