“She can’t even stand.”
I looked at him.
Sarah smiled.
“And yet she still owns every voting share.”
PART 3
Hospital security arrived two minutes later.
Eleanor began protesting immediately.
She demanded a supervisor.
She threatened lawsuits.
She accused me of being unstable.
Julian stayed quieter.
He knew when a situation had turned against him.
That was one of the reasons he had been successful in business.
He knew when to stop talking.
Unfortunately for him, he had stopped too late.
The recording already contained everything.
Security escorted Eleanor out.
Julian remained near the door.
He looked at Hazel.
For the first time since entering the room, his expression softened.
“Can I hold my daughter?”
My entire body went cold.
Sarah answered before I could.
“No.”
Julian looked at her.
“I’m her father.”
“And Genevieve is her mother.”
“She’s not keeping Hazel from me.”
Sarah turned to the nurse.
“Does the hospital currently have concerns about Mr. Vance’s behavior?”
The nurse nodded.
“Yes.”
Julian’s face hardened.
“This is absurd.”
The nurse stayed calm.
“You removed an infant from the mother’s reach during a documented confrontation.”
