His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Zach had never taken Caroline seriously. What kind of impact could a woman really make?

"You don't actually think Welton International would end up in the hands of a woman, do you?" he sneered. Tristan had told him ages ago that Welton International was passed down to the males. When Casper stepped down, Zach would be the next in line.
