Chapter 9 - The Boardroom Broadcast
Vivian smiled a deeply wicked, completely victorious smile as she held the heavy gun against the older woman's trembling head.
"If you take one more step toward that boardroom, your precious mother dies instantly," Vivian threatened coldly.
Christopher completely froze in his tracks, his heart shattering as he watched his terrified mother cry.
The massive, carved wooden doors of the executive boardroom were only fifty feet away down the luxurious hallway.
Inside that room, the corrupt board of directors was mere seconds away from officially signing away his entire legacy.
He slowly raised his hands in absolute surrender, completely willing to lose billions to save the woman who raised him.
"Let her go, Vivian, you have completely won the war," Christopher conceded with a deeply broken, defeated voice.
Vivian laughed triumphantly, completely savoring the incredibly sweet taste of her long-awaited, total victory.
What the wicked woman absolutely failed to realize was that Emily had secretly slipped away the moment the elevator opened.
The brave maid had completely bypassed the hallway and crawled through the incredibly narrow air conditioning ducts.
Emily dropped silently from a ceiling vent directly behind the heavy wooden doors of the executive boardroom.
She pulled out her personal smartphone and quickly logged into the company's massive, internal communication network.
She linked her camera directly to the giant presentation screens inside the boardroom and the lobby downstairs.
With a single tap, Emily began livestreaming the entire hostage situation in the hallway to the entire corporate building.
Inside the boardroom, the corrupt directors gasped in absolute horror as Vivian's murderous threats echoed through the massive speakers.
Every single employee in the towering skyscraper watched on their monitors as Arthur's entire criminal conspiracy was violently exposed.
Vivian heard her own voice echoing loudly from the boardroom and completely panicked in utter confusion.
Christopher used her momentary distraction to aggressively sprint forward and tackle her violently to the plush carpet.
The heavy gun fired wildly into the ceiling as he successfully wrestled the deadly weapon from her manicured hands.
