Chapter 9 - The Ultimate Betrayal
The entire massive boardroom went completely and utterly silent as I kept my heavy weapon entirely trained exactly on Walter's chest.
My former father-in-law looked absolutely completely different from the highly respectable, entirely retired man at the dinner party.
His expensive suit was highly disheveled, and his wild eyes entirely possessed a terrifying, incredibly manic desperation.
Thomas entirely pushed completely past me, absolutely refusing to entirely hide completely behind a woman in his own corporate building.
"Walter, what in God's name are you entirely doing completely holding a highly explosive trigger?" Thomas demanded with absolute fury.
Walter let out a completely broken, highly hysterical laugh that entirely echoed violently against the large glass windows.
"You completely ruined my entire legacy, Thomas!" Walter screamed entirely at the absolute top of his lungs.
Walter frantically explained that his own highly prestigious firm had secretly been completely entirely bankrupt for absolutely over a decade.
He had intentionally heavily manipulated Daniel into entirely aggressively embezzling massive funds just to quietly keep their wealthy family entirely afloat.
"But the absolute final incredibly massive zoning contract was absolutely supposed to completely save us entirely forever!" Walter cried entirely desperately.
Walter had entirely actively hired the incredibly ruthless mercenaries to completely heavily kidnap the Whitaker children entirely to create a highly massive distraction.
He completely actively needed Thomas entirely totally distracted by sheer grief so Walter could completely legally steal the massive corporate contract entirely unnoticed.
"You actively tried to brutally murder my completely innocent children just to save your entirely pathetic pride?" Thomas roared completely with absolute, fierce rage.
Walter wildly entirely raised his trembling thumb completely directly over the highly glowing red button of the incredibly sensitive detonator.
"If I absolutely cannot entirely have this massive company, Thomas, absolutely nobody will!" Walter heavily threatened entirely with pure malice.
I instantly realized that completely standard negotiation tactics would absolutely entirely fail on a completely highly broken, truly desperate man.
I completely entirely slowly lowered my heavy weapon, highly maintaining incredibly fierce, entirely unblinking eye contact completely with Walter.
"Your absolutely entirely foolish son is currently completely rotting entirely inside a heavily guarded prison cell, Walter," I stated completely entirely coldly.
"If you entirely actively press that highly destructive button, Brooke will completely absolutely legally entirely lose every single family member she entirely absolutely has left."
Walter briefly entirely completely hesitated, his trembling thumb highly slightly entirely hovering directly over the entirely deadly button.
In that absolutely entirely incredibly massive fraction of a critical second, I entirely violently threw my heavy weapon completely directly at his tired face.
The heavy metal gun entirely brutally struck his nose, completely forcing him to entirely drop the highly sensitive detonator entirely completely instantly.

I completely heavily aggressively lunged entirely forward, violently tackling Walter entirely directly to the completely hard floor entirely before the dangerous device could absolutely even completely hit the carpet.
Thomas entirely swiftly kicked the entirely highly deadly detonator completely safely entirely across the massive boardroom.
