Chapter 590
A layer of exhaustion shadowed her features, making her appear fragile and utterly harmless.
Bang!
The hospital room door was kicked open, slamming against the wall with a deafening crash.
Eleanor marched at the forefront with her cane, her face livid.
Her lined face was twisted with towering rage, her glare as sharp as a blade as it locked fiercely onto Sienna in the bed.
A crowd of Sterling family elders trailed right behind her, every one of them sporting dark, furious expressions and icy stares.
They directed their absolute disdain and contempt straight at Sienna.
It was as if they were looking at a criminal who had torn their family apart to covet their fortune.
Thea’s expression immediately frosted over as she snapped at the crowd. “Who told you to come in? Get out!
Do you not realize this is a hospital room? Stop disturbing my client’s rest p>
Eleanor acted as if she couldn’t even see Thea, violently shoving her aside as she closed the distance.
Staring down at Sienna leaning against the headboard, she demanded harshly, “Sienna Sloan! You better confess right now!
Did you take it upon yourself to sever Helena’s trustee management rights, kicking her entirely off the Sterling family’s equity list p>
Sienna struggled to prop herself up, her eyelashes fluttering as her voice came out no louder than a thread.
“I did it, but I was coerced under duress. I truly had no other choice p>
“Save your breath! As long as you admit it, that’s all that matters p>
Eleanor barked coldly, mercilessly cutting off her explanation, her eyes brimming with disgust and disbelief.
She whipped her head around to look at the legal counsel trailing behind her, her tone hard.
“Tell her! The trustee management rights are the core financial pillar of the Sterling family, and Helena is a direct, senior member of this household.
As the appointed executor of these management rights chosen by the late patriarch, she acted without the unanimous vote of the board.
Does unilaterally stripping a core family member of their equity constitute gross negligence and a breach of managerial duties p>
Attorney Roland Reed pushed up his glasses, his demeanor strictly professional. “According to corporate law and the terms of the trust mandate.
Ms. Sloan, acting as the proxy, is indeed in violation of the rules.
This action constitutes unauthorized decision-making, which could easily lead to the loss of family assets and equity.
It is classified as a severe dereliction of duty during the period of proxy management p>
Hearing this, a flash of malicious cunning darted through Eleanor’s aged eyes, and a triumphant sneer curled her lips.
Sienna took in every ounce of that calculation with crystal clarity, letting out an indifferent scoff in her heart.
She had seen through their entire scheme from the very beginning.
Sure enough, the very next second, Eleanor laughed aloud, looking at the attorney with utter confidence.
“Since she has failed in her duties and damaged the family’s interests.
Then all the executive decision-making powers personally entrusted to her by the late patriarch should naturally be revoked, correct p>
Roland nodded. “Under the laws governing proxy authorization, a major erroneous decision during the term of the mandate.
That results in a loss of interests for the company and its affiliates.
Grants the other board members and the members of The Sterling Family Trust the right to vote and revoke all of the proxy’s powers p>
“Excellent! Well said!” Eleanor threw her head back and let out a hearty, gloating laugh.
Her cloudy eyes fixed on Sienna, her expression venomous. “Did you hear that clearly? During the time you’ve spent trying to tear the Sterling? apart.
The other directors already held a meeting. They passed a unanimous vote to strip you of your power p>
Leaning heavily on her cane with both hands, she glared down condescendingly at the pale defeated face on the bed, feeling an overwhelming rush of satisfaction.
“Sienna, your good days are officially over as of today!
Pack your things this instant and get the hell out of the Capital!
Otherwise, I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death in this city, leaving you with absolutely nowhere to stand.
From this moment on, you are strictly forbidden from setting even half a foot onto Sterling territory p>
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd of family elders behind her immediately echoed her sentiments, their voices rising in☎ wave of harsh reprimands.
