Chapter 38

"What happened?" Silas asked as he stepped into his brother's office.

There were two unfamiliar men sitting there with Thomas and Wade.

"Mason bloody Hunter happened," Thomas replied, a frown etched on his face. "We don't know that yet," Wade interjected.

Silas took the empty chair next to Wade. "I'm so confused about what's going on."

The two unknown men stood up and nodded politely at Silas. One of them turned to Thomas. "Shall we discuss those lists later, sir?"

"Yes," Thomas said, dismissing them with a wave.

Once both men left, Silas scooted his chair closer. "What happened?"

"Well," Wade began, "your brother has been sued by Sonia Raj."

How is that even possible?" Silas asked, stunned. Sonia was one of Thomas's

most trusted clients. How had their relationship gone so wrong?

Thomas leaned forward, his eyes blazing with anger. "Sonia called me this morning, screaming. She wanted to know why I'd released her financial statements to investors. Apparently, she's been bombarded with emails from them about investments."

Silas leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. "But how does she know it was you? It could've been anyone."

"I'm the only external party with access to her financial information," Thomas said flatly.

"Ah," Silas murmured.

"I can't think straight," Thomas said abruptly, standing up. "I need a drink." Without another word, he stormed out of the office.

Silas smacked his lips, still processing the situation. He turned to Wade, who had a grim expression. "Don't you think it's high time we sued Mason?"

"We can't draw conclusions like that," Wade said, a frown on his face. "We don't know anything going on."

"But it's obvious Mason leaked the information," Silas argued.

"Alright," Wade said calmly. "What's your proof? Do you have any evidence Mason was involved?"
