Ashley felt a lump form in his throat under Carter's cold, piercing gaze.

Those dark eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss, sending chills down his spine. This was the kind of man who could orchestrate your downfall and still have you thanking him for it.

"Mr. Ashley. After what you did to Ms. Anna last night, how do you plan to take responsibility?" Carter said coldly as he tapped lightly against the armrest.

Ashley wasn't a fool. He knew that his life was no longe his own to dictate.

Ashley knew better than to hope for an alliance with the Gardners after his actions. Sadie was nothing more than a discarded pawn now.

Although the two families had never dealt with each other before, in terms of company valuation, the Hudsons were far superior to the Sanders.
