The revelation that Paisley was actually Charles' mentor hit like a bomb.

Even for these big shots who'd seen their share of shocking twists, this was too much to process. The room went dead silent as the news sank in.

"That's impossible." Marissa's perfectly composed mask finally cracked. Her face, usually the picture of grace and serenity, twisted with disbelief. "Mr. Hansen, you can't be serious. She's so young. There's no way she could be your mentor."
