Kaia held the black card between her fingers, feeling a creeping unease. Without a second thought, she headed to Graves Group.

At Graves Group, the only ones who knew about her relationship with Lucien were Zane, Julian, and maybe Lucien’s assistant.

“Mr. Vane, don’t you think this is a bit much?”

Malcolm, with his infamous temper, huffed. “What’s too much about it? I’m ready to invest five billion dollars. Just send me the account, and I’ll wire it over today.”

Lucien had never seen anyone try to close a deal like this, blunt and absurd.

He gave a hum. “Yeah… no.
