CHAPTER 88 PART 2
Zachary lunged forward, grabbing the laptop from Oliver's nerveless fingers. His eyes scanned the screen frantically, as if sheer force of will could change the numbers displayed there.HARTFORD GROUP (HRTF) Current Price: $47.25 Change: +$2.25 (+5.00%) Volume: 15.2M shares"This is impossible," Zachary whispered. "We drained three hundred million. The Potter Family was attacking. Golden Eagle Group was preparing two billion in assault capital. How—""Titan Group," Wesley said suddenly, staring at the trading volume. "Look at the major transactions. Titan Group bought massive positions this afternoon. They didn't just invest capital—they bought stock. Millions of shares."Marcus allowed himself a small smile. Owen Cooper had executed the plan perfectly—not just injecting ten billion in operating capital, but using Titan Group's vast resources to support Hartford Group's stock price, turning what should have been a massacre into a triumph.Quinn's Sacred Saintess aura suddenly exploded
CHAPTER 88 PART 1
Quinn Hartford sat in the chairman's seat, her hands folded on the polished conference table, her expression a mask of cold indifference.But Marcus, standing beside her with one hand resting lightly on her shoulder, could feel the tremors of anxiety running through her Sacred Saintess aura—golden energy flickering nervously like candle flames in a storm.The entire Hartford family watched with predatory anticipation. Twenty-three pairs of eyes fixed on Quinn, waiting for her to crack, waiting for the announcement that would destroy her.Marcus pulled out the chair beside Quinn's and sat down, utterly relaxed, his dragon aura wrapping invisibly around her divine energy in layers of protective power."How dare you!" Zachary Hartford's voice cracked from his humiliating position on the tiny red plastic stool in the corner. His knees were nearly up to his chest, his expensive suit bunched awkwardly, but his eyes burned with vindictive fury. "You're not even a board member! You have no ri
CHAPTER 87 PART 2
The question hung in the air like a bomb.Zachary's mouth opened and closed. "I'm—I'm the founder! The patriarch!""Not an official position," Marcus replied. "Try again.""I'm a major shareholder!""Are you?" Marcus's smile was cold. "Quinn, would you mind checking the shareholder registry? How many shares does Zachary Hartford currently own?"Quinn pulled out her phone, accessing the company database with trembling fingers. Her eyes widened as she scrolled through the records."According to the registry," Quinn said quietly, her voice carrying despite its softness, "Zachary Hartford transferred all his shares to various family members three months ago. His current shareholding is... zero."Gasps rippled through the boardroom."That's—that's a lie!" Zachary protested, but his voice lacked conviction. "I have shares! I know I have—""You transferred them," Marcus interrupted, "to avoid personal liability when you thought Quinn would fail as acting chairman. You protected your assets b

Hartford Group Boardroom - 4:15 PMThe boardroom was packed beyond capacity. Twenty-three people crowded around the massive conference table, with more standing against the walls—every Hartford family shareholder, every board member who smelled blood in the water, every vulture eager to watch the Sacred Saintess fall.At the head of the table, Zachary Hartford sat in the chairman's seat like an enthroned king, his aged face radiating vindictive satisfaction. Oliver's wheelchair was positioned to his right, both legs in casts but his expression twisted with malicious glee.Tessa Hartford stood near the window, her sharp features animated with spite as she addressed the assembled crowd. "Today, we finally put an end to this farce! Quinn Hartford and her worthless husband have brought nothing but disaster to this company. It's time they learned their place—on the street where they belong!"Murmurs of agreement rippled through the room."The Sacred Saintess," Wesley Hartford sneered from
CHAPTER 86 PART 2
Quinn's Office - 4:02 PMQuinn Hartford stood by her office window, staring out at Grayson City's skyline with her characteristic cold indifference. She wore a tailored black business suit that emphasized her natural elegance, her hair pulled back in a severe bun, her posture perfect despite the crushing pressure bearing down on her.Marcus entered without knocking. The moment the door closed, Quinn's carefully maintained facade cracked slightly."They're all here," she said quietly, not turning from the window. "Every shareholder who wants me gone. Every family member who resents my position. The board has already scheduled the vote—they're not even pretending this is legitimate discussion. It's an execution.""I know," Marcus said, walking to stand beside her. "I met Zachary and Oliver downstairs. They were quite pleased with themselves."Quinn's jaw tightened. "Three hundred million. They drained three hundred million from our operating accounts. Without that liquidity, we can't me
CHAPTER 86 PART 1
Hartford Group Headquarters - 3:47 PMMarcus Steel's BMW pulled into the Hartford Group parking garage, the engine's purr echoing off concrete walls. He'd just left Titan Group after declaring war on Golden Eagle Group, and now he was returning to face the vipers' nest that was Quinn's own family.As he walked toward the main entrance, two familiar figures blocked his path.Zachary Hartford stood there in an expensive three-piece suit, his aged face twisted into a satisfied smirk. Beside him sat Oliver Hartford in a wheelchair, his face still bruised and swollen from Marcus's beating days earlier, both legs in casts, but his eyes burning with vindictive glee."Well, well, well," Oliver sneered, his voice dripping with malicious satisfaction. "If it isn't the great Marcus Steel. The nobody who married a Sacred Saintess and thought he could play with the big boys."Marcus stopped, regarding them with the same calm indifference he'd give to insects crawling on the sidewalk. "Oliver. Zach
