The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1144

Remington made his decision not just because of that thing Alaric said, but also because Hertha had just fearlessly countered Angelina’s remarks.

He saw the love between Alaric and Hertha.

And if they were in love, well, things were going to be a whole lot easier.

“Father, do you even hear yourself?” Angelina said with discontent.

“That settles it then,” Remington declared to Angelina. “That engagement with the Reeds was your doing; none of us, including Alaric, agreed to it. It’s hardly an engagement, just you cozying up to the Reeds. Now, the Falconers are willing to shell out half a billion to clean up your mess. So cool it, would you?”

Though Remington no longer ran the Falconer empire, his words carried weight and efficiency.

He said they would invest half a billion into the Reed Group, and sure enough, the Falconers would soon open to fulfill that promise.

Angelina wanted to retort, but seeing Remington’s set in a look that brooked no further argument, she backed down. Even so, the discontent stewed in her.
