"It was just two hundred million…"
"Have you forgotten? Aiden and I had a side deal!"
On paper, Aiden had given him a few dozen million in orders—but in reality, it was closer to eight hundred million.
Everything had been going exactly according to plan—until Susan ruined it all.
"What were you thinking, Susan? Did I owe you something in my past life? Is that why you're here to make me pay for it now?"
Andrew dragged a hand through his hair in frustration, pacing before storming downstairs.
"I—I didn't mean to! Honey, what should we do? Is Lucas really pulling the plug on the deal?"
Andrew turned, his face flushed with anger. "And what do you expect me to tell Aiden? Do you even realize who he is, Susan? If Lucas backs out, we're the ones left with nothing! We're the ones who'll lose everything!"
