Edith smirked with a mischievous glint in her eye, “Well, of course, dear Uncle Gary.”

“The board meeting is just around the corner, and Grandpa is going to officially appoint him as the president of the Fairhaven Group.

All I need to do is lay out the facts, play to her emotions, and if she truly loves Jareth, she’s bound to start doubting.”
