How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 402

Jarrod didn't seem the least bit anxious. He lowered his gaze, watching Elodie's face. "Take your time to think it over."

He wasn't trying to pressure her, either.

He simply placed the documents on the table, tapping them lightly with his knuckles before meeting her eyes. "You can reach out to me anytime."

He didn't linger, nor did he expect Elodie to answer right away. With that, he turned and left.

Elodie sat in her chair for a while, lost in thought.

Eventually, she picked up the stack of documents and headed downstairs.

Grady Mercer, perhaps because of Jarrod's presence earlier, hadn't stuck around long and left soon after.

Alexander Sterling immediately noticed the weight in Elodie's expression. When the three of them finally met up with Esmeralda Mercer in the restaurant, neither he nor Elodie mentioned Grady's earlier attempt to stir up trouble-they both knew Esmeralda's temper well enough that she'd have stormed back upstairs to confront him on the spot.

Instead, Elodie brought up what Jarrod had said, handing them the documents he'd left behind.

It was all there-papers for a no-cost transfer of shares, along with every bit of necessary documentation. Jarrod had left nothing to chance.
