The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1144

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.
