Chapter 18 - Lily asks why Ethan did it

“Money.”

Too simple.

I tried again.

“He thought making my company look weaker would let his family buy part of it for less.”

She frowned.

“So he broke into places?”

“He helped other people get into places they weren’t allowed.”

“And hit me for phone?”

“Yes.”

“Because I heard?”

“Yes.”

She sat quietly.

Then:

“He’s rich.”

“Yes.”

“Then why need more money?”

A question economists have failed to answer for centuries.

I said:

“Sometimes people stop measuring what they have and only measure what they could control.”

She looked at me.

“Do you?”

Painfully good question.

“Sometimes.”

May you like

“Stop.”

“I’ll work on it.”
