Jeffrey’s eyes bulged in disbelief, and for a long moment, he struggled to process what he had just heard.
After a brief pause, he snapped back to reality and roared at Fiona Ellington, “Are you out of your mind? Ten billion dollars to them? Do we look like we’re running a charity here?”
With ten billion dollars, you could open a string of world–class art galleries! He thought.
Fiona must have lost her marbles by giving out such an astronomical number.
Fiona shot him an icy glance before turning to Vivienne and Percival, “Give me an account number. I’ll transfer the funds to you!”
She wasn’t offering this fortune for Jeffrey’s sake, but to keep Percival and Vivienne from dismantling the other art galleries.
Some of the galleries Jeffrey had established were a front for under–the–table dealings, which were secrets that outsiders must never uncover. It was a network she had painstakingly built, hidden from her entire family.
Even Jeffrey, the supposed head, was clueless about it.
If these secrets were ever exposed, she’d stand to lose up to thirty billion dollars.
When weighed against ten billion, it was a no–brainer. She had to protect those assets.

It seemed Percival had to go. His very existence was the most significant threat to her.
