“Astrid, the company is in absolute chaos.”
“What happened?”
“When Marco got your revocation notice, he didn’t take it

“The production director took the notice to legal. The second our head counsel read it, his face went white.”

“In forty-eight hours, the rights to use those patented formulas automatically revert to you.”
“At that point, every production line using those two formulas has
to shut down.”
“What did Marco say?”

Costello went on.
“At one o’clock, the board held an emergency meeting.”
“Marco was already in the conference room when I arrived.”
“The other two minority shareholders were there, too.”
“What was said?”
