How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 267

Chapter 267

He handed Elodie the new agreement.

Elodie knew the procedures here were notoriously complicated, and every step was checked thoroughly.

She didn't say much about it.

Lowering her gaze, she scanned the updated divorce agreement.

The division of assets was much the same as before, but this time he'd added something: a transfer of twenty percent equity in Nexus Analytics.

Equity, not just shares. That meant she'd be granted actual managerial rights in Nexus Analytics.

Elodie read the details carefully and found that in the separate equity transfer contract, Jarrod had listed her grandmother, Rosemary, as the nominee holder.

She herself would remain the true controlling party behind the scenes.

Only then did Elodie look up and meet Jarrod's eyes across the table. "So you mean my ownership in Nexus Analytics will be kept hidden, and on paper, my grandmother will be the shareholder?"

Jarrod looked up, his voice steady and detached. "Is there a problem?"

"You want to hide that I'm your wife, right?" Elodie guessed at once.

After all, with such a large block of shares, the company was bound to investigate the shareholder's identity.

Jarrod had chosen her grandmother as the figurehead. Internally, who at the company would know who Rosemary even was?

Let's be honest.

This was all for Sylvie's sake, sparing her unnecessary suspicion and gossip.

Jarrod's eyes were cool and distant, his tone even flatter. "If there's no problem, just sign."
