The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

His words successfully infuriated David, who was standing by. Stepping forward, his face flushed with anger, David retorted, "Trenton, just because Mr. Sinclair is temporarily in a wheelchair doesn't mean he's down for the count!"

"David!" Before David could continue his heated retort, he was cut off by Lysander's chiding voice.

Turning around, David saw Lysander's face, taut and stern, and knew Lysander had a plan. He nodded slightly and stepped aside. Lysander gazed deeply at Trenton, having heard the exchange between Wyatt and Trenton, as well as their respective champions.

Wyatt, for his own interests, wanted him back in control.

And Trenton, aiming to support Payton, wished for him to stay out of it, to remain an idle figure, allowing Payton to keep the CEO position. Lysander's piercing gaze fixed on Trenton.
