Chapter 24 - The Fortune Jason Never Understood
News outlets reported Eleanor was worth $640 million.
Some said $800 million.
Others more than a billion.
Eleanor laughed.
“Everyone is wrong.”
Grace asked:
“Higher or lower?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“It is literally my business.”
The point remained.
Jason had risked everything for a number he never truly knew.

Governed.
Shared with foundations.
Bound by trusts.
Some property carried debt.
Some companies had minority partners.
Public perception turned “rich” into “cash waiting in a vault.”
Jason believed marriage gave him a key.
It never did.
Money had attracted him.
