** Eli **
Obviously, that conversation didn't end up the way his father wanted, and the old man was positively fuming when Eli slammed the door on his way out of the room.
It didn't matter though. Let the manipulative control freak think whatever he wants and do whatever he wants. Miracles had already gotten their contract and funding for the VR project, so there was nothing that Eli could be threatened by anymore at this point. Getting fired? No big deal. Getting disowned? Perfect. Maybe he would even snatch that opportunity and make a memorable scene at the summer gala before disappearing from the city's finance circle for good.
