The Wrong Woman

Soon after, Nathan sent a document over to Mila without any accompanying message. Mila clicked open and found a recorded message inside. She listened attentively as Avery's voice filled the recording. Avery's voice came through. "You sly fox, you actually hid a 28-billion mansion? You sure know how to keep secrets."

Avery pressed on, "Still pretending, are you?"

Zach countered, "What do you want?"

Avery instructed, "Draft a new will. Transfer the mansion to Oliver. Trust me, it's in your best interest to do as I said. Or else, you, your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson won't see another sunrise."

It dawned on Mila how risky Nathan's move had been. Without any direct contact with Zach, Nathan had gambled on guessing his reactions and intentions.
