Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right by Czy Season

"So, you noticed I was provoking him." "Crystal clear."

Ben knew Debra's personality. She'd never stir the pot without a reason. But every word she had spoken earlier was aimed at Edgar's weakest spots. While he might have appeared outwardly calm, Ben could sense that inside, he was already fuming.

"You can tell it, but he's too caught up in his pride to realize it," Debra said, a sly smile tugging at her lips. "Edgar wants to take down Oscar. If he can't negotiate with me, he'll turn to someone else. We'll give him exactly what he's looking for, just enough to make him act recklessly."

Ben caught on to her strategy. "You're setting a trap for him."

Debra nodded. "Tomorrow, have our people reach out to him. Someone like Edgar, with his massive ego, won't be able to handle the humiliation for long. He'll rush into action and try to find allies who'll help him go against us."

"But won't he think about the consequences?"

"I've already spelled out the consequences for him. If Edgar cared about the fallout, he wouldn't have neglected his interests in Booton. Right now, he's entirely focused on expanding his influence in Seamar City and taking down Oscar. He can't see beyond that." Edgar had let the wealth of the Odom family give him a false sense of security. He believed that even if he made a few bad moves, their fortune would cushion the blow.

But he'd forgotten the golden rule of business: never underestimate your opponent. Sooner or later, his arrogance was going to cost him.
