Chapter 18 - The Annual Board Meeting of Montgomery Global
Inside the top-floor boardroom of the glass skyscraper overlooking downtown Boston, fifty major shareholders sat around a polished mahogany table.
Ethan stood at the head of the room, presenting the financial recovery reports following the public resolution of the family's legal crisis.
"Through transparency, accountability, and strong corporate governance, Montgomery Global has achieved record profitability this quarter," Ethan announced.
The shareholders burst into loud applause, expressing their unanimous confidence in Ethan's appointment as permanent Chief Executive Officer.

"Great speech, CEO Montgomery," Ramirez said with a light smile, stepping up to the glass window to look out at the harbor.
"Did the Coast Guard close the search operation off the Newport coast?" Ethan asked, turning around to face the federal investigator.
"Official search was concluded yesterday," Ramirez confirmed, setting the yellow envelope down on the conference table.
