What Separates Me and You

Chapter 107 Men Were Always Fickle

The man had a point. She truly didn’t trust strangers easily when it came to dealings involving large figures. She had nowhere to turn to should the other party be unable to deliver as promised after signing the contract.

Lewis stopped scrolling on his phone and looked up at her. “Do you care that much about Seth?

“I’m willing to sell my shares for him, so what do you think?” she said flippantly.

“Aren’t Dad’s shares worth even more?”
