There wasn’t much he could say.
Ferris took the silence as agreement. “Then it’s settled.”
Turning to Hadley, he said, “Hadley, I'd like you to accompany Eric that day. Stand by his side, make sure
everything goes smoothly. | don’t want any slip-ups.”
Before either of them could respond, a staff member appeared at the entrance. “Sir, Mrs. Scott is awake.”
Ferris nodded, already rising to his feet. “I'll go to her. If you'd like to stay for breakfast, just let them know.”
Upstairs, a concerned voice echoed faintly. “Mrs. Scott, please don’t walk barefoot! You haven't put on your

“You're the reason they've softened. They have you—their son, brilliant and steady. You've becsomething

Eric gave her a look, half-doubtful. “You think | matter that much?”
Hadley smiled faintly. “He has nine children—six sons, three daughters—but only one stands out. You're the only
