"But, Mr. Morgan, you'll need to deal with the Moore family for a few more days, since the shareholders' meeting is about a month away."

But how could they stall the Moore family? Everyone was clearly thinking about this.

"How about this?" Lila pursed her lips. "You can tell your father that Kieran and I are getting a divorce. Isn't there a cool-off period for a divorce? That would buy us a month."

Hearing her suggestion, Kieran didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. He reached out and pinched her earlobe.
