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

Lewis smirked and suddenly leaned forward. Looking her in the eyes, he lowered his voice and said, “You can’t, but Dad can.”

Her eyes widened. “W-What do you mean by that?”

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