Chapter 72

Over at the president's office, Aidan opened the kraft paper bag and took out the documents within. After skimming through it with his eyes, he tossed it on the coffee table, and someone knocked on the door a few minutes later.

"President Pearson, the directors have all left separately," Jonathan reported.

Aidan's jaw tightened, and a layer of ice seemed to be wrapped around his voice. "Especially Pantheon
