But! I found it so fascinating that Tony said "we own controlling interest" ... and seemed to include Pepper, though he probably just meant himself and Obie. So it would seem that Obie, of course, wants it all to himself. And therefore if Pepper was included in Tony's statement, then Obie would either have to take control over her or kill her too. (Wow! I hadn't thought of that before.)
I also had a fascination with her sitting there on the couch working - or pretending to work - on her laptop while Tony and Obie talked. Like she was (used to) being Tony's buffer or watchdog or something. And how pissed Tony got when she seemed to side with Obie twice. In fact, he was looking at her when he said "Screw this" and got up to leave.
