Chapter 80

Valor was no fool and figured it all out soon, taking a deep breath.

With his explosive investment schemes, Howard had played the big guys for fools, and with a miracle doctor like Gwendolyn at his side, he was playing coy, a wolf in sheep’s clothing indeed.

His eyes bulged as he stared at Howard and Gwendolyn. “You… you two…”

“What about us?” Howard’s tone was menacing.

“You’re… a match made in heaven,” Valor stuttered, shaking like a leaf. “Mum’s the word, I swear. Not a peep.”

With tears in his eyes, Valor signed the dreaded agreement, consoling himself that it was only for three months.
