“But I’m not a member of the Dalton family, so I can’t join the company, which I understand. But this lady is also not a Dalton, so why is she allowed to own shares in the Dalton Group?” Hailey raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with curiosity.

She couldn’t help but admire Mattie’s cunning. After over two years with Aiden, a man notorious for being tight–fisted, Mattie had somehow managed to get shares in the Dalton Group.
