Chapter 16 - The joint venture collapses

The Laurent transaction stopped immediately.

Not because I screamed:

Deal dead.

Because both boards had fiduciary obligations.

Sabine was now implicated in:

Medical-record misuse.

Coercive leverage.

Assault of the other principal’s child.

Conflict impossible to ignore.

Independent committees reviewed whether the transaction could continue without her.

Technically?

Yes.

Economically?

Possible.

Practically?

Trust was gone.

Moretti Marine withdrew.

Laurent Atlantic’s board began exploring alternatives.

Sabine blamed me publicly through carefully worded statements.

I said nothing beyond:

May you like

“The proposed transaction will not proceed.”

Sometimes silence is more useful than a press war.
