From Trash to Titan Chapter 144
“Which directors?” Edmund asked.“All of them, sir. Seven are in the boardroom already,” she said, holding out a printed sheet. “An emergency board meeting has been called for half past nine this morning. The notice went out at four o’clock yesterday afternoon.”“I did not call a board meeting!” Edmund shouted.“Nobody told me either,” Dominic said. “And I am an executive director!”“The notice carries neither of your names, sir,” the assistant said. “The company secretary says it is valid under the Group’s own rules, and that the name of the director who called the meeting will be read out when it opens.”Edmund snatched the sheet from her hand.It was stamped by the company secretary, and the signature line had been left blank. The agenda had only one item, printed in plain black letters: A resolution concerning the chairmanship of the Harcourt Group.His fingers began to shake. The chairmanship of the Harcourt Group! For almost twenty years, there had been only one chairman of this

By nine o’clock that night, Edmund Harcourt had given the same order eleven times.Find Jay.He had given it to his driver, to the head of security, to two private investigators, and twice to Dominic.Every answer was the same. Jay’s apartment was empty, and the doorman had not seen him since yesterday. He was not at his club, the golf course, or either of the two hotels where he liked to entertain his friends. His phone was still switched off.Normally, Edmund wouldn’t care that much about this. After all, this was Jay. He was more more trouble than anything else and frankly Edmund would have no issue with Jay walking away from the Harcourt group for good.But Jay was trouble, and that was the issue. It was the thing making Edmund nervous right now. He was afraid of what Jay was up to. Jay had always seen himself as too good for his position in this business group. He wasn’t simply satisfied by the role that he had which was below Edmund, he actually thought he could be the leader. E

Twenty minutes after the hearing ended, Edmund Harcourt’s car pulled up outside Harcourt Group headquarters.He had left the courthouse through a side door with his lawyers closing around him like a wall, and he had not spoken a word since. The courthouse had been swarmed with the media and so he did his best to not make himself noticeable. Now the driver opened the rear door, and Edmund stepped out with his back straight and his chin lifted. Not one line on his face showed what he felt.He had ruled this building for nearly twenty years. He would not walk into it looking beaten.But the moment he entered the lobby, he felt a lot of eyes turn towards him.Employees stood in clusters near the reception desk with their phones in their hands. Some did not even notice that he had walked in, because their eyes were fixed on a screen. A few were watching on their work computers with the volume on high. On every screen, an old man was pleading with a judge, and Edmund knew exactly which old

Behind Dorian, Gideon had a faint but smug smile across his face. Hazel moved half a step closer to Maxwell, and Kieran stopped grinning, looking annoyed. Dorian glanced towards the witness stand. “That poor old man,” he said. “A tall gentleman, was it? I do hope he was not describing anyone I know.”“You have a lot of nerve coming over here, Mr Zenith,” Natasha said coldly.“Miss Park. Always a pleasure,” Dorian replied, with a polite nod.“Why are you here?” Maxwell asked.“Is a man not allowed to watch the law at work?” Dorian said lightly. “The gallery is open to the public, I am told.”“You didn’t come for the law,” Maxwell said.“No,” Dorian admitted, and his smile widened. “I came to watch an old family come apart. One so rarely gets a seat at the front.” His eyes drifted to the Harcourt table, where Edmund still sat with a hard glare on his face, then came back to Maxwell. “Do enjoy today, Maxwell. I doubt the Harcourts will trouble you for much longer.”“Is that all?” Maxwel

Walter’s face went from pale to grey.“And if any part of your testimony is untrue, lying to this court is a separate crime, with three more years on top,” the judge continued, looking at him over his glasses. “That is ten years, Mr Hale. You are sixty-three. I will ask you once, and I want you to think carefully. Is your testimony true?”Walter looked at Edmund. Edmund glared back at him with burning eyes. Walter looked at the judge again, and his lips began to shake.Ten years! At his age, he would walk out of prison a very old man, if he walked out at all!And worse, he could already see that this was a losing battle. Sterling’s lawyer had torn his story apart, and the judge no longer believed a word of it. If he kept lying, he would go to prison for nothing, while the Harcourts watched from the gallery!“No,” Walter said at last. His voice was low, and it shook only a little. “It isn’t true, my lord. None of it.”The Harcourt lawyer jumped up. “My lord...” he said.“Sit down, coun

The new judge was a lean, grey-haired man who had not spoken a word to either side before he sat down.“I have read both submissions in full,” he said, looking from one table to the other. “I will be asking questions of both parties. Sterling’s counsel first.”Maxwell’s lawyer stood up. Before he could finish his opening sentence, the judge interrupted him.“Counsel, your client terminated a contract of eleven years without notice,” the judge said. “Why shouldn’t this court see that as precisely the kind of harm this restriction was meant to prevent?”It was a hard question, and the lawyer answered it calmly, citing Clause 8.4 and the three hidden Zenith agreements. The judge nodded slowly and wrote something down.Although he did not say whether he agreed.However Maxwell was at ease this time. This was going to be a fair trial, and the Sterling lawyer had the stronger case to make here, meaning they should be winning this comfortably. This was not Judge Pembroke. The man was on nob
