Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 638

Before setting out for Rome, Mio Walsh had done his homework. He knew that Michael Bardem once had feelings for Victoria, and that Victoria had helped Michael at a critical moment. With that in mind, Mio was confident that his identity as Victoria's nephew would secure the deal. If he succeeded, it would be a significant advantage in the family's leadership race. Even if Victoria objected, her disapproval would hardly matter-results spoke louder than words.

At the dinner party, Michael Bardem had shown a clear liking for him. While no promises were made, it seemed almost certain that Mio would be the one Michael chose to collaborate with. After all, Bardem's company, R Corporation, was a well- established, internationally renowned firm. Both sentimentally and logically, the partnership made perfect sense.

But only a few days later, Michael Bardem had changed his mind. Mio Walsh was stunned.

"The other party hasn't announced which company they're working with yet," his secretary reported. "It seems they've only reached a preliminary agreement. Details will take time to finalize."

"Then it's not settled yet," Mio snapped. "Call Michael Bardem. I want to invite him to dinner."

Mio was a smart man. Even for a married woman, he had ways of stealing her heart. This deal wasn't over. As long as the contract wasn't signed, he still had a chance.

"Yes, Mr. Walsh. I'll arrange it immediately."

The secretary returned shortly with an update: "Mr. Walsh, they've already left Rome. He said dinner will have to wait until next time."

"That old fox!" Mio's face darkened. While Michael Bardem hadn't explicitly promised him the deal that night, his attitude had been favorable. Experienced businessmen often left things unspoken, and Mio had taken Bardem's subtle signals as reassurance. He had been at ease until now.

But someone had swooped in and taken the deal out from under him.

Furious, Mio hurled the wine glass in his hand to the floor. "Damn it! Whoever stole this from me, I'll make them cough it back up the same way they took it!"
