The announcement sent shockwaves rippling out.
Ivan Gray, over at the York Group, wasn't the only one to react. That afternoon, Summer Thorne's phone was ringing off the hook. Countless reporters swarmed the freight company, completely blocking the main entrance in an attempt to get her first official statement.
But what no one knew was that after contacting her lawyer first thing in the morning, Summer Thorne had boarded a high-speed train to a neighboring city.
After spending the day at a large freight company in the neighboring city, Summer Thorne didn't return to Valois until evening. She then met an industry senior for dinner, staying at a private club until nine at night.
After dinner, just as Summer Thorne was about to leave, she heard a somewhat familiar voice from behind her—
"Sister-in-law?"
Summer Thorne turned and saw Aidan Crawford, from the third branch of the Carrington family.
