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.

In the face of a superior force, the weak could only submit.

Anna's expression darkened. "Dream on"

The Sanders erupted in fury. "How dare you say that? We won't agree to this!"

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

Since Anthony was intent on aligning himself with Carter, Ashley understood the current situation all too well.

He knew he absolutely couldn't provoke Carter's anger
