Chapter 4 - The Unseen Board Member
Victoria tried to regain her composure, smoothing her glittering silver gown and forcing a haughty laugh. “Your property? Don’t make me laugh, Maya! This is the annual Vance Dynamics Shareholder Gala. You don’t own a single inch of this marble floor. Security!”
Two massive guards in black suits stepped forward from the golden archway, moving toward Maya.
Maya did not move an inch. She simply raised her left hand, revealing a dark matte titanium signet ring on her index finger. On the inner band was engraved a master security cipher—the highest clearance key in the entire building.
The lead security guard halted instantly, his face turning pale. He recognized the cipher code. It was a master key that overrode even Richard Vance’s executive command.
“Stand down,” Maya ordered quietly. The security guards bowed their heads slightly and stepped back into the shadows, leaving Victoria completely exposed in the middle of the ballroom floor.
“What are you doing? I pay your salaries! Throw her out!” Victoria screamed, her voice cracking as the aristocratic composure completely crumbled.
