Chapter 20: Nothing Left
Hayes's POV
I read every page of it.
It was the first contract I had read from start to finish in eleven years, and it took me two hours.
My lawyer sat across the table with her coffee going cold and watched me turn each sheet over.
"You could skip the schedules," she said. "They only list the accounts."
"I want to know where the money goes."
I owned forty-one percent of Grosvenor Aviation.
The sale of my whole stake would bring in a little over three hundred million dollars.
I had set up a fund that same week for every Sentinel family who had called the ops line and been told to wait.
Houses, hospital bills, funerals.
The fund would pay them whether or not they ever sued, and it would pay them first.
On the last page there was a line for my signature.
I signed it, and my hand did not shake.
"You realize," my lawyer said, "that once you sell, you have no say in the company. Camille holds the proxy for the remaining shares. She'll run it however she likes."
"I know."
"You'd be poor, Mr. Grosvenor. Comfortable by most standards. Poor by yours."
"I'd be somebody who finally read the page," I said.
At 9 p.m. I rode the elevator down to the tower garage to get my car.
It was the last night my badge would open the door.
The garage was empty, lit by long white tubes, and my footsteps rang between the concrete pillars.
I had my keys out when I heard a small collar jingle.
Camille stepped out from behind a pillar with Duchess against her chest.
