Chapter 7: The Empire’s Betrayal
Victor attempted one last move.
He called an emergency board meeting.
His goal was simple.
Remove Marcus as CEO.
The shareholders entered expecting a disaster.
Instead, Marcus arrived with Khloe beside him.
The room changed immediately.
Victor smiled.
“You brought your wife?”
Marcus nodded.
“Yes.”
Then Khloe placed a folder on the table.
Inside were years of financial records.
Every hidden payment.
Every stolen account.
Every secret transaction.
The board members stared in disbelief.
“You knew all along?” one asked.
Khloe answered calmly.
“No.”
She looked at Marcus.
“But we found the truth together.”
The vote was immediate.
Victor lost control of the company he had tried to steal.
Security escorted him away.
As he passed Marcus, he whispered:
“You think you won?”
Marcus looked at him.
“No.”
He glanced at Khloe.
“I think we survived.”
And that was something Victor would never understand.
