The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1144

Remington made his decision not just because of that thing Alaric said, but also because Hertha had just fearlessly countered Angelina’s remarks.

“That settles it then,” Remington declared to Angelina. “That engagement with the Reeds was your doing; none of us, including Alaric, agreed to it.

He said they would invest half a billion into the Reed Group, and sure enough, the Falconers would soon open to fulfill that promise.

Angelina wanted to retort, but seeing Remington’s set in a look that brooked no further argument, she backed down. Even so, the discontent stewed in her.
