The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2736

Chapter 2736 

That small fraction of shareholders couldn’t sway Nolan’s decisions. 

Especially those who had marched step by step through the trenches with Nolan to build the empire that was the Harris Group chose to follow him unconditionally.
