Chapter 2: The Signature They Could Never Get
The silence stretched for several unbearable seconds.
Finally, the maid struggled to her feet.
"Mr. Sinclair..."
She bowed despite the pain.
"They wanted Miss Emily to sign the transfer agreement."
She pointed toward the documents scattered across the carpet.
"They said if she refused..."
Her voice broke.
"...they'd make sure she never woke up again."
Emily closed her eyes.
She had tried to protect everyone by remaining silent.
Now there was no hiding the truth.
The older woman laughed softly.
"Oh, don't be ridiculous."
"It was only medicine."
Adrian slowly picked up one of the papers.
Across the top were the words:
PROXIMA BIOTECH ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
Beneath them...
Emily Carter.
Transfer of controlling shares.
Ninety-one percent ownership.
His expression changed.
Not because of the money.
Because Emily had never inherited Sinclair Holdings.
She had inherited something even bigger.
Proxima Biotech.
The pharmaceutical company preparing to release the most valuable cancer treatment in decades.
Worth nearly twelve billion dollars.
The acquisition wasn't voluntary.
It was theft.
Adrian looked directly at his grandmother.
May you like
"You tried to steal her company."
The old woman's smile finally disappeared.
