How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 356

Elodie stared at the number flashing on her phone, frowning despite herself.

Changing her number hadn't helped. Blocking calls was pointless, too. If someone really wanted to reach her, they'd always find a way.

Keith, sounding oblivious to her chilly tone, spoke smoothly. "Do you have a moment this evening? Mr. Silverstein asked me to let you know that Nexus Analytics needs an additional signed copy of the equity agreement for the regulators. Would you be able to come by?"

Elodie didn't even pause as she scrolled through recent drone test reports from VistaLink Technologies. "You can courier the contract to me. I'll sign and send it back."

But Keith pressed on. "Mr. Silverstein said this isn't a trivial matter. If you're too busy, he's prepared to track down your grandmother for the signature."

That made her stop cold.

A chill flickered in her eyes. "Tell him to leave my grandmother out of this. I'll stop by before noon."

Keith finally relented. "Understood. I'll pass that along."
