The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"Dad, Charles attempted murder! He contracted a killer, and Ralph stopped him in the act. Not even the best attorney I can find will save him now."

James banked on the fact that his old man would not retaliate, given his strong network of supporters within the company and control over the project from Asher. He pulled the rug from under Lance.

"Just be straight if you have a problem with me. Why must you take a dig at me? Who has been devoted to you? Who has been the one to work hard for the company? Haven't I done enough?

James was stating facts.

"Breathe, Dad. I think James has a point."

Lance pressed his lips together, his expression grimacing.
