Vanessa's smirk widened. "You really haven't been paying attention, have you? Liam and I have been consolidating our interests. Let's just say that when the dust settles, you won't be the one calling the shots anymore."
My heart raced as I curled my hands into fists at my sides. "You're bluffing. Michael has the majority control over the family business. Liam can't just take that from him."
