Chapter 502

“You’re a businessman, Neil, you should be thinking about what’s good for business. What you’re doing is nothing but folly. You’ll regret it, I tried to appeal to Neil’s pragmatic side. Neil just gave a cold, indifferent chuckle, as if I’d just told the funniest joke in the world.

And maybe I had. I mean, these words must’ve been repeated to him by Ryan Whitmore and Mitch so many times that they’d lost all meaning. In fact, they were practically a punchline at this point.

The task Faith gave me was looking impossible. The feud between Neil and Russel had been so fierce, it had torn their families apart. No one had been able to mediate between them so far. Why did I think I could?

“What brought you here today?” I asked, eager to shift the topic.

“Have you seen Russel?” Neil’s gaze was sharp, suspicious, as if he was afraid I’d lie.

Neil acted surprised. “That’s why he suddenly backed off. What did you tell him to change his mind?”

He leaned in closer, a smirk playing on his lips. “Did you offer yourself to him?”

I instinctively backed away. Every time Neil got too close, I felt like a sheep cornered by a

wolf.

“You’re crazy!” I snapped back, my patience wearing thin.
