Jarvis's gaze hardened, and he frowned deeply.

Two hundred billion, even for the Patricks, pulling such a sum would mean calling a major board meeting. The Patrick Corporation had grown so vast, its need for liquid assets was even more substantial. And considering their cautious climb to power over the last thirty years, spearheaded by his uncle's meticulous planning, he was certain they wouldn't make such a move.
