Chapter 7 - The Boardroom Slaughter
The betrayal of our own chief legal counsel sent a shockwave through the Bellamy estate.
My father had the traitorous lawyer dragged down into the soundproof basement before sunrise.
I did not ask what Warren did to the man, but the lawyer confessed everything within twenty minutes.
Marjorie Kessler had secretly bribed him with ten million dollars to provide the assassins with the estate's security bypass codes.
She was absolutely desperate to finish the job before I could dismantle her precious company.
I refused to let my injuries slow me down, dressing in a sharp, tailored black suit that hid my bandages perfectly.
I boarded the repaired Bellamy jet with Nolan and an army of ruthless corporate sharks.
We flew directly back to Dallas, landing just as the Kessler company stock began to violently plummet.
The Kessler board of directors had called an emergency shareholder meeting at the top of their glass skyscraper.
I bypassed the terrified lobby security and marched straight into the executive penthouse.
Reid was standing at the head of the long mahogany table, sweating profusely as he begged his board for a bailout.
He froze mid-sentence when the double doors swung open and I walked into the room.
The entire board gasped, staring at the woman they thought was just a quiet, submissive housewife.
I slammed a massive stack of legal documents directly onto the center of the polished table.
I announced to the room that my shell company had secretly purchased eighty percent of the Kessler corporate debt.
I legally owned the building, the brand, and every single chair they were currently sitting on.
Reid laughed, a desperate, manic sound that echoed loudly across the silent room.
He reached into his tailored jacket and pulled out a single, heavily notarized sheet of paper.

He smugly slapped the document onto the table, claiming it was an irrevocable transfer of my voting rights.
He proudly announced that I had signed all of my corporate power over to him while I was heavily medicated in the hospital.
