Chapter 654:
Ellyn Briggs did not rush. She crossed the marble floor with the measured, confident stride of a predator entering its own territory.
She passed Belle trembling and Cheryl whimpering on the floor without so much as a glance — as though they were nothing more than discarded trash.
Ellyn stopped in front of Carter Harrington and extended her hand.
“Mr. Harrington,” Ellyn said, her voice rich and commanding. “I am Ellyn Briggs, CEO of Carson Dynamics. I came to collect my daughter and granddaughter, but it seems I have walked into an interesting negotiation p>
Carter looked at the older woman. He recognized the name instantly. Carson Dynamics was a legacy aerospace manufacturer, currently bleeding cash and being aggressively shorted by Wall Street hedge funds.
He shook her hand. “Ms. Briggs. Your daughter has already made quite an impression today p>
Ellyn smiled, glancing proudly at Isolde. “She usually does p>
She did not waste time with pleasantries. She knew she had a microscopic window of opportunity to hold the attention of a man who dealt in billions.
“I read the quarterly prospectus Harrington Capital filed last week,” Ellyn said, her tone shifting seamlessly into high-level corporate strategy. “Your firm is heavily leveraged in the new low-earth orbit satellite network. It is a brilliant play p>

Carter’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was listening.
“However,” Ellyn continued, her voice dropping to a confidential, insider register, “I also know that your primary manufacturing partner in Germany is failing to meet the thermal stress tolerances for the thruster casings. You have a critical supply chain pain point. If those casings fail upon atmospheric reentry, your entire billion-dollar network burns up p>
Carter’s posture stiffened almost imperceptibly. That specific supply chain failure was a closely guarded corporate secret. The fact that Ellyn knew about it meant her intelligence network was formidable.
“I assume you are raising this for a reason, Ms. Briggs?” Carter asked, his voice low.
“Carson Dynamics has just completed phase-three laboratory testing on a proprietary nano-ceramic heat-resistant coating,” Ellyn stated smoothly, letting the bait settle. “It exceeds your German partner’s tolerances by four hundred percent. We own the patent outright p>
Carter’s eyes flared with sudden, intense interest. This was not a pitch for a theoretical algorithm. This was hard, physical science capable of solving a billion-dollar hemorrhage in his portfolio.
“I want to see the raw data from those stress tests,” Carter said immediately.
Standing a few feet away, Belle Escobar felt something inside her mind snap.
She was watching her worst nightmare unfold in real time. Isolde’s mother was stealing the very investor Belle needed to survive. She was watching Carson Dynamics secure a lifeline while InnoTech drowned.
“Don’t listen to her!” Belle screamed, her voice cracking as she lunged forward, pointing a shaking finger at Ellyn. “Carson Dynamics is a dead company! They are facing Chapter 11 bankruptcy! Wall Street is shorting them into the ground! If you give them money, you are throwing it into a grave p>
Ellyn turned her head slowly. She regarded Belle with an expression of profound, withering pity.
“Oh, you poor, uneducated girl,” Ellyn sighed.
