“What happens now?” I asked.

“We have verified the documents in the ledger,” Harris said.

“The signatures on the trust transfer were forged by Julian Vance.”

“So the trust is void?” I asked.

“Legally, yes,” Harris said.

“The transfer of the Callahan estate to Victoria’s private LLC was fraudulent.”

“That means the original bylaws apply,” Adelaide added.

I looked at her, waiting.

“The bylaws state that if there is no living male heir,” Adelaide said.

“The estate passes to the first-born child of the direct line.”

“My daughter,” I said.

“Yes,” Adelaide said.

“Your daughter is the sole legal heir to the Callahan family empire.”

“But Victoria still has allies on the board,” I pointed out.

“Not for long,” Adelaide said.

“An emergency board meeting has been called for tomorrow morning.”

“Where?” I asked.

“At the corporate headquarters in Century City,” Adelaide said.

“They are going to vote to strip Victoria’s faction of all voting rights.”

“Can they do that?” I asked Harris.

“With the evidence we have,” Harris said.

“Yes.”

“The board needs a representative,” Adelaide said.

“Someone to present the legal challenge.”
