Chapter 122: The Coup
Liam’s POV
One Week Later...
I stood in my home office, staring down at the copy of the divorce papers I’d finally signed. Each signature felt like a small death, but I’d had no choice. The ultimatum had been clear—sign the papers before the custody hearing, or face even worse consequences.
I’d sent them to Holbrook that morning, along with instructions to deliver them to Diane immediately. At least that particular battle was over, even if I’d lost it completely.
Now I had to face an even bigger war.
I straightened my tie and grabbed my briefcase, checking to make sure the manila envelope was still tucked safely inside. The photographs of Guerrero and Natasha were my only remaining weapon, my last chance to maintain control of Synergy Sphere.
As I headed toward the door, I saw Thomas waiting by the car, along with Anthony in his impeccably fitted suit. I’d decided to bring security to the office today, bringing him alone after the flop of Jackson’s incident. If Guerrero was planning something underhanded, I wanted to be prepared.
Just as I was about to step outside, my phone chimed with an email from Vanessa: "Emergency board meeting today at 10 AM. Called by Mr. Guerrero."
I stopped dead in my tracks, reading the message again to make sure I hadn’t misunderstood.
"What the hell is Guerrero calling a meeting for?" I muttered under my breath. If this was what I thought it was—if he was making his move to take control of my company—he was in for a rude awakening.
The drive to the office was tense, both Anthony and I lost in our own thoughts. When we arrived and the elevator opened to the executive floor, I could see the shock on every staff member’s face as they took in the sight of me with a massive bodyguard in tow.
