“I thought we were attending the Atlantic Legacy Gala together.”
Grant finally raised his head.

The Atlantic Legacy Gala was not simply a charity dinner.
It was the social event of the year for Florida’s business elite.
The oceanfront Alcott Museum in Miami had been transformed for the occasion.
More than six hundred guests were expected.
Governors, hospital executives, real-estate developers, hedge-fund managers, philanthropists, celebrities, and reporters would crowd beneath crystal chandeliers while millions of dollars were raised for pediatric trauma centers and affordable housing.

The company owned stakes in hospitals, hotels, sustainable housing developments, medical technology companies, logistics firms, renewable-energy projects, and private investment funds.
