"So much water and food…"
Mr. Hartwell rubbed his eyes unconsciously, muttering beneath his breath as he looked at the stash.
Lucy and Nathan were standing next to him, wide-eyed and amazed.
Now they realized at last why Alex had to have such a huge warehouse if it was any smaller, there wouldn't be room to store this heap of crates.
But Alex didn't bring them here to shock them. He spun around, his voice warm but authoritative.
"After you assist me in selling all of this water off the books, we'll share the profit as I said ninety percent to me, ten percent to you."
Nathan's eyes went wide. He knew what this amount of water was worth. Even that small share would be a fortune for their family.
Alex was no fool. He did not want to battle all of them for crumbs he preferred to share the revenue so they could all be rich together and remain loyal.
He did not know the black market channels or the local fixers yet but the Hartwells did.
