It showed the stock purchases of Hart Industries over the past six months.
At first, the guests didn’t understand what they were seeing.
Small percentages of shares had been purchased through dozens of different investment funds.
1%.
2%.
3%.
Each purchase had seemed harmless.
But together…
they added up to something shocking.
51%.
A controlling stake.
The room erupted in whispers.
“Who bought them?” one investor asked.
Leon nodded toward the maid.
“She did.”
The board members stared in disbelief.
“That’s impossible,” one of them said.
But the company lawyer stepped forward.
“It’s completely legal,” he confirmed.
“The funds used for the acquisition belong to her private investment firm.”
Miranda stepped backward slowly.
“You’re telling me… she owns the company?”
Leon smiled faintly.
“Yes.”
Then he added something that made the room even quieter.
“And starting tomorrow…”
“…every decision this company makes will be approved by her.”
The maid looked around the silent ballroom.
For the entire evening people had ignored her.
Some had even asked security to remove her.
Now those same people stared at her with a completely different expression.
Because the woman they thought was cleaning the floor…
had just bought the entire empire.
