Chapter 12 - THE BOARDROOM
On Claire’s twenty-fifth birthday, the owners met.
Claire.
Victoria.
Thomas.
Daniel attended.
Family counsel attended.
Claire held 52%.
She could terminate.
Victoria sat rigid.
Claire said:
“I am ending the existing Parker Management agreement.”
Victoria’s face hardened.
Then Claire continued:
“And inviting Parker Management to compete under the same terms as everyone else.”
Victoria blinked.
“You’re not banning me?”
“No.”
“After what happened?”
Claire looked at her.
“What happened at the banquet is personal accountability.”
Then she tapped the management contract.
“This is business accountability.”

Victoria hated that distinction because she could not call it revenge.
