"Is it money you're after?" Freya dismissed his nonsense with a cool voice.

Brendan didn't harbor genuine affection for women. This current flirtatious persona-just one of his most practiced masks.

"Who doesn't want money?" Brendan casually set his wine glass aside, his legs still crossed in effortless elegance. "But right now, it's the least of my priorities. Compared to that, I'd much rather have..."

arousing suspicion.

Brendan was every bit as wary as Ellis-if not worse.
