Chapter Sixty One
At a private exclusive club, Mr. Hayes placed a thick folder on the mahogany table. “Richard, Eleanor, this is the final outline.

Once the vows are exchanged, the government contract will flow directly to us. The timing is exact.”Eleanor adjusted her notes. “Cassandra has been directed to follow the script without resistance. She will not deviate from the lines Liam rehearsed.”Hayes gave a single nod. “Good.
