Cordy sneered. “Why are you so eager to settle it privately? I’d be half-dead if John Levine didn’t take that blow for me.”

“I know you suffered, but I’m doing this for Starstream Group,” Simon said, his tone turning soft gradually. “It’s going to affect the company negatively if this gets out, and we’re still family, right?
