After the gala, Isaac followed Elijah into the sleek black Bentley parked outside.

"Seraphina's already on her way back. I bet the Donahues caught wind of it."

Elijah raised an eyebrow. "And so?"

"We need to deal with the Donahues, pronto."

Isaac was eager to accelerate their plans, and Elijah had no objections, merely stating, "You vanished for nearly half an hour during the dinner. Where did you go?"

Isaac knew Elijah had eyes on him at all times. But that half-hour was a mystery.

Aware that Elijah had been tracking his movements, Isaac's patience wore thin. "Mr. Ulbricht, we're partners. You saved me, and I'm helping you with your plan.

Elijah, knowing full well the challenge Isaac posed, didn't want to push too hard and conceded, "Understood."

Feeling the tension in the car, Isaac opened the door. "Mr. Ulbricht, let's catch up another day."

After he left, Elijah's assistant couldn't hide his frustration. "Mr. Ulbricht, he's really pushing his luck. If it weren't for us, he'd be six feet under."
