The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Nigel was an old man in his twilight years, yet in the presence of the board-which consisted of men still in their prime-he remained sharp and dignified. His silver hair did nothing to dull his imposing presence.

Seated with perfect composure, he exuded such an undeniable authority that Gregory was instantly pulled back to the days when he had worked beneath the crushing weight of his father's rule.
