When the night of the Harlow Group’s family meeting arrived, Sarah walked in to see her father and her two uncles at the head of the long table next to their father, Matthew Harlow. Sarah didn’t want to interrupt so she hung out near the food table not far away, listening to the discussion.Patriarch Matthew glared at his sons. “Jacob, have all of the investors and partners confirmed their attendance for tonight?”Her father, Jacob, hung his head, “All five of our investors have.
