“In Ziphon, Tristan orchestrated the sale of over 30% of the Lenoir Group’s shares, previously held by him and Raymond, to the Weiss family.”

“Lennon believes that Yolanda presents a crucial opportunity for us to repurchase the shares. She requested a meeting with me, and Lennon clandestinely arranged for her to attend.”

“I only discovered this morning, upon arriving at the company, that Lennon had organized such a banquet in my honor.”
