How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel 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.

Her phone buzzed insistently.

She finally answered. “What is it?”

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.”

Elodie hung up.

She would never let Jarrod and his people disturb the Thorne family. The divorce was final—she wanted Jarrod far away from her grandmother and the rest of them.

As for the Nexus Analytics shares, the company was a major player; regulatory changes always took time, and she’d have to cooperate with the process, whether she liked it or not.

She finished her work, then made her way to The Silverstein Group.

The receptionist, likely tipped off in advance, waved her straight to the elevator.

She entered the executive lounge.

Jarrod was already waiting. As she walked in, he looked up. “Have a seat.”

He glanced down at the papers in his hand, then, in his usual cool tone, instructed his assistant, “Bring in some herbal tea.”

Elodie didn’t sit next to him. Instead, she took the single seat across from him. “No tea, thanks. Just hand me the contract.”
