Chapter 6: The Perfect Bait
To catch a predator, you have to play dead. Alexander knew that Victor Thorne was the only rival with the resources to pull off this attack. He also knew Victor’s ego was his biggest weakness.
Alexander intentionally leaked a fake, highly confidential memo to the press. The memo stated that Sterling Luxury was officially filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy the following Friday. It also indicated that Alexander was willing to sell his controlling shares of the company to the highest bidder in a private, closed-door auction just to pay off his debts.
The bait worked perfectly. Victor Thorne couldn't resist the opportunity to look Alexander in the eye as he stole his company.
Victor contacted Alexander, offering a lowball bid and demanding a private meeting at an exclusive country club to sign the papers. Chloe insisted on coming along, desperate to witness her final victory in person.
"Are you sure about this, Alex?" Eleanor asked, adjusting his tie as he prepared to leave for the meeting. "If this fails, we truly lose everything."
