Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Chapter 10 opens immediately after Chapter 9’s paused meeting with fresh public humiliation outside the hospital suite as the Chairman doubles down on the expulsion motion before media. Protagonist responds with a tighter, second curated leak that visibly erodes board loyalty. Inside the resumed executive suite, he enforces Section 7.4b veto again while the Family Council Member’s indecision deepens under competing pressures of the nephew buyout and the confirmed near-forty-percent stake. A small but concrete fracture appears when two directors hesitate and one questions the rush; the Chairman’s authority frays further without full collapse. The chapter narrows stakes toward tomorrow’s full audit, ending with the Chairman’s grip visibly weakened as key members openly question him, while the motion stays unsigned and retaliation continues.
