She nodded, her eyes hopeful. “I got a call from Mr. Beau. You’ll be handling the affairs of Terrain Motors,” she informed me. Uncertainty gnawed at me. “I’m not sure I’m cut out for this. I know how to handle certain things, but running an entire business…” “I’ll guide you,” Gwen assured me. “I worked closely with Mr. Soren, and I can help you navigate things.

Just space. “They transferred ownership,” I continued. “Through a holding company. Layered. Clean. Designed not to trace back.”
