Sophie immediately seized upon Leah’s words, her expression fierce. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence! I’m sure Charmaine is scheming something! They used to be at odds, and now they’re suddenly friendly? Charmaine shows up, and Dominic appears right after, ready to whisk Mr. Riverson away. They’re clearly working together!”

Already seething with anger, Bennett clenched his fists. “If she dares to mess with our plans, she’ll regret it!”

The mere thought of anyone interfering with their financial matters–attacking something so personal- stirred their fury. The idea of Charmaine getting involved only fueled their desire to see her gone.

Bennett’s tone softened as he tried to reassure them. “Don’t worry, Mr. Willard, Mr. Jonah. I’ve hired the best risk consultants in Eragos to assess our investment. Tomorrow, my secretary will deliver the final report to you. And with Mr. Riverson’s connection to Leah’s grandfather, the bid is as good as ours. No matter how hard Dominic tries, he won’t beat us.”

Willard forced a smile, though it was tight and strained. “Alright then, we’ll wait for your good news.”

Jonah gave a subtle nod. “We’ll take our leave.”
