Tavon had finally played it straight this time.
Anastasia had a lawyer verify the documents, and both the stock transfer and the declaration were legit and legally binding. She was pretty taken aback, to be honest. It was like Tavon had woken up from a long slumber, a changed man.
Even though Anastasia had always known Tavon to be a self-serving guy, never one for selfless acts, the fact that he had taken such a risk, handing over the company to her for the sake of Morton Group, was quite the shocker.
Salma even said, "In his whole life, this is probably the only decent thing your dad's done. To him, Morton Group was everything. Gotta say, he didn't bet on the wrong horse."
And Tavon had indeed bet correctly; Anastasia's ultimate backbone was still the Salstrom family.
"I'll give Herman a call now," Anastasia said, "have him dig into Morton Group's situation. Know your enemy, right? Then we can plan our next move."
With that, she called Herman.
Elysian Technologies was brimming with talent; these guys ate this kind of work for breakfast. At Herman's command, within half an hour, all the intel on Morton Group was faxed over to Anastasia.
At the president's office of Elysian Technologies, Herman was a bit worried Anastasia might be in over her head when Flynn passed by the office door.
"Flynn, come here," Herman called him in.
Flynn waltzed in with a grin, "What's up, boss?"
Herman rolled his eyes at the brown-nosing display, "Cut the act. At 4:30 PM, go pick up Pattie from school. Look after her for the next few days. I need to make a trip to Willowbrook."
"You're heading to Willowbrook for Anastasia?" Flynn asked. "I heard Tavon had a stroke."
"Mind your own business and maybe take a leaf out of Nelson's book," Herman scolded.
Just then, Nelson walked in, "Mr. Salstrom, did you need me?"
