Chapter 4: The Family War
Chapter 4: The Family War
The next six months became a battlefield.
Not a legal battle.
A family war.
Board meetings turned into shouting matches.
Executives chose sides.
Media outlets published scandals weekly.
Every day brought a new betrayal.
Then someone leaked confidential company information.
Stock prices collapsed.
Billions vanished.
Investors panicked.
The board blamed me.
Exactly as Richard planned.
One emergency meeting later, I was facing removal as acting chairman.
The vote was scheduled for Friday.
If I lost...
Everything was over.
Thursday night, Daniel entered my office carrying a laptop.
His expression told me everything.
"You found something."
He nodded.
"Much worse than theft."
My heart pounded.
Daniel opened a video file.
The footage came from a hidden security camera.
A warehouse.
Richard.
Victor.
Several armed men.
Then came the confession.
Clear as day.
Victor laughed.
"Once Evelyn's gone, the company is ours."
My blood froze.
The video continued.
Richard raised a glass.
"To family."
Everyone laughed.
The next morning, the footage was shown at the board meeting.
Live.
On every screen.
Nobody spoke.
Nobody moved.
Richard looked dead.
Victor looked ready to faint.
Then federal agents entered the room.

The meeting ended immediately.
In handcuffs.
