Chapter 14 - The Grandfather ReturnsThat evening...
An eighty-two-year-old man entered Brooks International headquarters.
Everyone stood.
Arthur Collins.
Company founder.
Mary's grandfather.
Officially retired.
Secretly still controlling the trust.
He embraced Mary.
“You handled it perfectly.”
Ethan stared.
“You planned this.”
Arthur smiled.
“No.”
“You exposed yourself.”
He looked toward Ethan.
“I simply stopped protecting you.”
Arthur then handed Mary a small envelope.
“There's one more betrayal.”
Inside was a photograph.
Taken eight years earlier.
Ethan...
