The meeting was already turning into something far worse than I had imagined.
I originally thought this was simply going to be a formal meeting with Leo's uncle, Thomas Brown, and maybe a few members of the board.
I had not expected my grandfather to be there.
Or my father.
The moment I saw both of them earlier, everything immediately started making sense.
Ever since I landed in Oak City, my grandfather had been repeatedly calling me nonstop, as I owed him something, and now I finally understood why.
This meeting had been the reason all along.
Still, no matter what the outcome of today turned out to be, I genuinely don't care anymore as long as Kayden was not affected by it.
At this point, he mattered more to me than anyone else in the world.
And the last thing I wanted was for him or our baby to be placed in harm's way because of politics, public outrage, or the selfish decisions of people sitting around this table.
