Margaret slammed her hand against the table.
“This is private.”
“It stopped being private,” William answered, “when foundation money was used to expose three innocent children.”
Olivia insisted they still needed to control public perception.
Hannah stood.
“My children aren’t a publicity strategy.”
“They’re scared.”
“They go to kindergarten.”
“They fight over crayons.”
“They sleep with night-lights.”
“They don’t exist to repair anyone’s reputation.”
Olivia laughed bitterly.
“Now you’re permanently connected to one of the wealthiest families in Illinois.”
Without saying a word, Hannah placed two documents on the table.
Proof she had rejected the $2.5 million settlement.
And five years of financial statements from Little Harvest Kitchen.
“I built my company without a single dollar from your family.”
“Does that look like someone chasing money?”
Sebastian stood.
“The foundation will never use my children’s names.”
“It will never use their images.”
“And it will never touch Hannah’s business.”
