Wren was standing in front of the screen, tapping her pointer against the glass next to the first name.“We’ve narrowed it down to three possible investors to cover the money Ashner pulled out. We’ve done the first round of checks, and the options are getting fewer.” She moved the pointer down the list. “The SHAR-AFAI group works too closely with one of our competitors. And the Dubai office is asking for terms we just can’t agree to.” The pointer stopped on the last name. “So that leaves one main option if we want to move ahead: Primavera Holdings.”She clicked the remote, and a logo appeared on the screen. “They’re a Mexican-based investment firm that buys and grows small to mid-sized companies.
