Tobias‘ face darkened. “Absolutely not. Kaia, 30% is too much! That would give you more shares than I have!”

Kaia let out a cold laugh. “Oh, I see. Well then, I’ll just tell Lucien the wedding’s off!”

“Wait!” Panic and anger surge through Tobias.

Now that he knew Kaia was actually dating Lucien, he seriously worried that Kaia might just dump him again with how she always acted without thinking.

After all, she’d already rejected the Graves family once before!

Tobias had no idea how she’d managed to hook up with Lucien, but he couldn’t let her mess this up.

Kaia’s eyes flashed with cold amusement. “Oh really? Want to test that theory?”

She steeled herself and dialed Lucien’s number. “Hey, Lucien.”

“Hey, Kaia. What’s up?”

Before she could finish saying “off“, Tobias snatched the phone away and hung up.

“Kaia, are you insane? Do you know who he is? You’re actually going to mess with Lucien?” he snapped.

Tobias felt a chill of fear. If he hadn’t acted fast just now, his crazy daughter would have thrown away the marriage deal of a lifetime. And he would’ve regretted it forever.

“Well, I’ve shown you. I’m not afraid of anything.” Kaia knew she had to go all in to get what she wanted.

Tobias‘ face went through several shades of red and white as he ran the numbers in his head.
