That morning, Damien attended the Park Group board meeting to inform the members of the changes in the major shareholders, given the discovery of William's birth. They didn't give Frederick a chance to defend his honor—not that he could since he wasn't present in the meeting—but with legal documentation that proved William had the right to equal shares with Frederick, the takeover was done as they expected.
Saying that the members of the board were shocked by the discovery would be an understatement, but Damien didn't allow them to linger on that subject. He settled the room and proceeded to start the motion to remove Frederick as the chairman and then, a surprise to some of them, nominated himself as the new chairman.
