The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Arcus shrugged. "Don't worry. I'm just discussing the prospect of a partnership with Mr. Derek. All we want to do is make money, and we have no interest in anything else.

In a day, a full stack of data was in front of him.

As it turned out, several elders of the Costner family carried considerable influence in the family-one of whom was Walt Costner, the geezer who showed up to warn Arcus. He was a strong martial artist and used to be the head of the family but overestimated his importance and made too many enemies.
