Titan Group’s ownership structure appeared on the screen.
For years the board had believed the company was controlled by Alexander Kane and a group of investors.
But the numbers on the screen told a different story.
Over the past six months, a private investment fund had quietly purchased shares through dozens of separate transactions.
1%.
2%.
4%.
Each purchase had seemed insignificant.
But together…
they formed something shocking.
52%.
A controlling majority.
The name of the controlling shareholder appeared on the screen.
It was the maid’s.
The ballroom erupted with shocked voices.
“That’s impossible,” one of the directors shouted.
Alexander’s legal advisor stepped forward.
“It’s completely valid,” he confirmed.
“The acquisition was finalized two weeks ago.”
Diana stared at Alexander in disbelief.
“You let this happen?”
Alexander smiled slightly.
“No.”
Then he looked at the woman beside him.
“I helped.”
The room went silent again.
The maid slowly looked around the ballroom.
For the entire evening she had walked through the room cleaning glasses and wiping tables.
Now the same people who ignored her stared at her with fear and respect.
Because the woman they thought was just cleaning the floor…
had quietly bought the boardroom.
And starting tomorrow…
every one of them would need her approval to stay in their jobs.
