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.

“Then, get this done as quickly as you can.” Daphne sighed in resignation. She didn’t have the energy to think too deeply about this right now as she still had to discuss with Lewis what to do about the ransom money later.

“Will do, Ms. Alvarez. We will get this done within three days, don’t worry. I’ll be off then.” The man kept away all the documents and bid them farewell.

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.

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

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