The calm shattered when Jonathan’s mother Diane entered, her presence commanding silence as chairwoman and family authority alike.
What is this supposed to be, Diane demanded, ordering security to remove the child before investors noticed.
Fate intervened when a folder fell, scattering papers and revealing a photo that made Grace cry out in recognition.
