Tom let out a cold laugh. "From the moment you accepted my money, there was no turning back. And don't forget-while Brandon finding out about my involvement won't hinder my plans, if he learns you betrayed him, neither he nor your uncle will let you off the hook." Huxley's face turned pale as he hissed, "Tom, are you threatening me?"

"Mr. Lightner, don't misunderstand. We're in the same boat now. I wouldn't do anything to harm you. But if you jump ship, don't blame me when you drown," Tom said before ending the call.
