Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 37

“Why can’t I mention it? If I tell your Dad, won’t he be able to take revenge on your behalf?” Casper asked patronizingly. He gestured towards Elena and himself, adding, “Look, there’s only the two of us. If your Dad wants to harm us, we won’t be able to run away. You’d be able to get back at us then.”

Casper’s confidence made Elena smile wryly.
