Part 1, Chapter 8 Summary: “There’s One Way Into Hope, One Way Back Out”

Sam is too agitated, so Nora drives. He has found out that their father drew up plans to sell Noone Properties to Cece a few months back. Both Sam and Nora know that their father has some kind of history with Cece: The two apparently grew up together and might have dated. However, that Liam had planned to sell his company to her is news to Sam. Because his role in Noone Properties was so important, he is furious that he was not let in on the possible sale. The two drive to Joe’s expansive property to ask what he knows. Joe is less than forthcoming with information. He explains that he and Liam had considered the sale and even drawn up papers, but Liam decided against it. He claims that it has nothing to do with Liam’s history with Cece and declines to offer any further insight into Liam’s state of mind during the sale or in the months leading up to his death. He curtly invites Sam and Nora to his daughter’s upcoming engagement party. They can see that the conversation is over.
