PART 6 — Investors Ask Questions

Monday morning panic spread through Jasper Technologies.
Investors had received an unexpected email.
Meeting.
Mandatory attendance.
No explanation.
Jasper entered the boardroom expecting another funding round.
Instead he found Finnley Robertson seated at the head of the table.
The room fell silent.
Every investor stood to greet him.
Only Jasper remained frozen.
One director finally spoke.
"You...didn't know?"
Jasper slowly looked around the room.
Know what?
Finnley folded his hands.
"The only reason this company received early financing..."
"...was because my daughter believed in you."

Silence.
Absolute silence.
