Chapter 6 - Grace Signs One Page Only

Grace did not sign everything Declan put in front of her.

She signed one consent.

Manipulated.

Perhaps seduced by a billionaire rival.

Instead, she was doing what he had not done.

Reading.

Asking.

Changing terms.

Using leverage.

The woman he had treated as peripheral to Calloway Systems still understood exactly how ownership worked.
