The boardroom was unusually crowded that morning.
Every director had arrived early, and several senior executives were already whispering among themselves.
The arrest of Richard Delevon had become the biggest topic in the city's business circles. News outlets were reporting possible financial misconduct within the Delevon empire, while investors were demanding explanations.
Nobody knew what Clara intended to announce.
But everyone understood one thing.
The woman who had once been pushed aside was no longer willing to remain silent.
At precisely 8:30 AM, the boardroom doors opened.
Clara entered wearing a tailored black suit, her hair neatly arranged, and a folder tucked beneath her arm.
Arthur walked beside her.
Aaron followed with two legal representatives.
The conversations immediately stopped.
"Good morning, everyone," Clara said.
Mr. Bennett, the acting chairman, stood.
"Mrs. Volkskrant. We've been expecting you."
Clara took her seat at the head of the table.
