How much was a bluff? They could do what Will said, it was just a case of if they wanted to. Will wouldn't want to, because of the damage it would do to the company, but if the alternative was leaving the company in Bruce's control, why not?
There's more of the Major in Will than he maybe willing to admit. Will is planning a military campaign against an enemy, and that enemy doesn't know what Will is capable of doing.
And so plans start to come out into the light. Is it too late, or are there things that can be done. That Saturday when Will found Gavin emptying the benefits fund may be the lever needed.
I have a suspicion that Tyrone is going to have a key part to play in the climax. Exactly what, I'm not sure, but the hints are there. Libbet said he and Marc needed to talk things out. Was Marc an old boyfriend of Tyrone?
Everything is going to climax on Tuesday at that meeting. Was the accident supposed to make Avery distressed, as an extra reason for the shareholders to replace him?
Ah, so that's how Bruce is going to seize control. He's contrived to get Avery's shares frozen so he can't vote them. I presume he's lined up enough other ones to get a majority vote in his favour.
And with that, Will has put his job on the line, even if he doesn't know it. Bruce already dislikes Will. If he gains control of the company, Will is gone...
The interactions are more complex than I expected, but it's not really surprising that the children of two long-term business associates know each other. They may have even gone to school together.
So sad. I was right with my guess that Libbet's father was someone already in the story, but I didn't guess Richard Avery.
Marc is going to have a heart attack when he sees Will...
I was pretty sure what they did was illegal. I'm glad to see it confirmed. What's needed, though, is to make sure the people responsible are clear, and that's Bruce and Gavin.
