The only thing Mr. Ford truly cared about was the family's reputation. As for his son, shipping him off overseas to fend for himself was enough. He intended to keep a close watch to ensure Eugene never found a way back. "That works for me," Mr. Fay agreed. "But I'll be keeping an eye on him too. If he shows up here again, this agreement is null and void. I have all the evidence saved."

Even without saying it, Mr. Ford understood. The Fords and Fays were evenly matched in influence, and the Fays had ties with Nash, so he would be crazy to turn this into a conflict.
