Chapter 42

Lady Lancaster shifted in her seat. "Let us think about it first."

"Remember," Jerry pressed, "the banquet is tonight, so you'll need to make a quick decision. And since you've already said Chris will marry Sophia, if you give me the money today, I'll give tell Chris to give BioHealth Solutions to Sophia."

The room fell into a stunned silence.

The Lancasters were shocked-Chris's company was significantly larger than their own business.

"Why?" Lady Lancaster asked, her voice shaking with both greed and disbelief.

"I'm in Los Angeles right now for the new Elegance & Co. branches," Jerry lied, "and I'll need Chris's help to build a new BioHealth company here."

"Since he's my only son, who better to manage our company in Vancouver than his wife?"

Sophia's mother, Florence, leaned in eagerly. "Mother-in-law, this is a great opportunity for us."

Meanwhile, Jerry was already calculating his next move, planning to take out every loan he could under BioHealth Solutions todays and dump the financial burden on the Lancasters, leaving them to manage the company's debts.

Jerry could clearly see that greed had already blinded the Lancasters; they would craft their own lies and call them opportunities.

"Father, what happened? Why did you let go of BioHealth? Mother will be furious!" Chris exclaimed in disbelief, knowing the company was funded with his mother's money
