Cecil sat opposite her son, pouring herself a glass of wine. “I’ve already agreed to give her five percent of my ten percent shares,” she said, setting the bottle down. “My lawyers will handle the transfer. Once everything is processed, it’ll be legally under her name.”

Calen’s jaw tensed. “But Mom-”

Cecil took a slow sip of her wine before meeting his glare. “This mess? You created it, Calen. Don’t forget that.”

Calen’s jaw clenched. “Why would you give her shares that belong to me?”

Cecil’s grip tightened around the stem of her glass. “They don’t belong to you,” she said coolly. “Those shares are mine. I’m choosing to compensate Izzy with them.”

“I thought you were smarter than this, Cecil,” Izzy had said, amusement flickering in her eyes. “Bribing me with pocket change? I thought you actually wanted to negotiate.”

Cecil had gritted her teeth. “Twenty million is not pocket change.”

Cecil had wanted to slap that smug expression off her face, but she held herself back.

“What do you want, then?” she had finally asked, her patience wearing thin.
