How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 406

On the shareholders' side, Elodie thought, Jarrod had already taken care of everything.

Everything was falling into place—almost unbelievably so.

Except for one thing.

Jarrod had handed her absolute control. Nexus Analytics was now a fully independent entity. She had the authority to replace board members, change Jarrod's appointees, and amend company bylaws. Still, he personally retained a 10% stake, but under the agreement, he gave Elodie his full voting rights concerning Nexus Analytics.

He wouldn't participate in any decisions or management; he'd simply collect his small share of the dividends.

It was a total relinquishment of control.

The meeting ended.

Elodie felt almost disoriented, as if things had gone too smoothly to be real.

She got up and headed for the door.

Jarrod walked over to her.

His gaze was lowered as he said, "Keep on the people at Nexus Analytics you can trust. I shouldn't have to remind you about the rest."

Elodie understood exactly what he meant. She said nothing, just turned and walked out.

Outside the conference room, Sylvie and Maurice were waiting.
