The room erupted into whispers.
Sebastian spun toward him.
“What?”
“The contracts you signed this morning contained a public fidelity clause.”
His face lost even more color.
“You said they were standard documents.”
“They were reviewed by your legal team.”
“They never—”
Then realization struck.
Because his legal team had reviewed them.
He simply hadn’t bothered reading them personally.
Arrogance has a funny way of creating its own consequences.
The attorney continued.
“Your public admission establishes a breach. Control of all transferred holdings immediately reverts.”
A woman dropped her champagne flute.
The sound shattered across the ballroom.
Nobody moved.
Nobody spoke.
Then Grandfather stood.
Slowly.
