Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

“Pat, I know how you feel about her conduct. Trust me, I am as pissed as you are, and I was the one on the receiving end of it,” I say as I sit across Patrick Wright’s office on the topmost floor of the

He’s actually a good man, unlike many individuals in the corporate world that I’ve had the misfortune of coming across He was a man with principles and integrity, as well as an excellent moral compass. Some of the legal requirements in his hospital were a bit too much, I agree But in the long run, even I can’t dispute their necessity.

After all, it is a cutthroat world we live in.
