There were hardly any people the heiress of the Pierce family couldn’t afford to offend. Even the Quinn and Guzman families weren’t people she truly had to tiptoe around–they just preferred not to start trouble, not that they couldn’t.
Only Jeffrey fit that description.
He was someone you could never quite read, mysterious yet commanding respect and authority wherever he
went.
He was Rebecca’s ex–husband. Even though they were divorced, Rebecca still had custody of their child.
It made perfect sense that he wouldn’t want Rebecca to be in the spotlight. Honestly, no man–especially one with power and influence–wants people to know he couldn’t even get custody of his own child.
The more Liam thought about it, the surer he felt.
It had to be Jeffrey.
“Got it,” Liam said, then hung up.
If it were anyone else, he could have found a way to keep them out of the mess. But Jeffrey was the kind of person even his grandpa had to be careful around. Going up against him was just fighting a losing battle.
Thinking of this, Liam went home and told Michael about what happened.
Since it involved shares, his dad definitely wouldn’t stay out of it.
Rebecca had no idea about any of this. For the rest of her vacation, she spent all her time digging into every aspect of the company–its current situation, past projects, and future plans.
The company was only working on one project right now, and it barely made any money. They’d already taken out over 100 thousand dollars in loans from the bank, and until they landed a new project, they were relying on those loans just to pay salaries and buy equipment.
While she was deep in thought, Ian showed up.
Seeing how absorbed she was, he didn’t say a word. He quietly slipped in and waited nearby.
Rebecca’s neck started to ache, so she stretched and massaged it.
When she looked up, she saw Ian lounging on the couch next to her. Her eyes widened with surprise, then lit up with joy.
Rebecca blinked, smiling, “When did you get here?”
