Are you willing to jeopardize the partnership between our families over it?”
Trying to contain his irritation, Declan reasoned with Bryson, “Our conglomerates wield significant influence in Valmere. If we halt our collaboration, stock prices will plummet, resulting in losses exceeding ten million.”
Just pausing the collaboration would still mean a significant loss!
He glanced away, guilt written across his face.
Brayden draped his coat over his shoulder.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, will you? Miss Moore has mentioned you’re still to sort out divorce papers. Yet you defamed her in front of everyone. You made it impossible for her not to sue you now.”
Sensing that events were not unfolding in their favor and aware of the growing crowd, Eliana discreetly tugged at Declan’s sleeve.
Then she addressed Bryson.
“This is all a big misunderstanding. Mr. Mitchell, please let cooler heads prevail. On behalf of Declan, I apologize to Miss Moore. He’s not a terrible person; he can just be brutally honest, often disregarding others’ feelings.”
Eliana turned to Hannah and bowed.
“Miss Moore, it’s all my fault.
Please don’t blame Declan. I shouldn’t have come back into your lives.

“This isn’t on you. I chose this path, so the fault is mine!”
The couple’s melodrama made Hannah nauseous.
Brayden chuckled, “What soap opera are you two starring in? Aren’t you ashamed or at least embarrassed?”
Annoyed, Declan turned to Bryson.
“Mr. Mitchell, you might want to reconsider our business…”
Bryson cut him off, “Why should I invest in dying industries?”
Declan’s complexion suddenly went ashen.
Hannah had some insights into the world of finance. If her actions had put Bryson in such a predicament, she’d feel forever indebted to him.
“Mr. Mitchell, I realize you decided to exact revenge on the Edwards family on Grace’s behalf. However, mixing personal vendettas with business collaborations isn’t something she’d approve of.”
