“Dad, I just wanted to teach Charlotte a lesson! She was trying to steal Jasper from me, and I finally got him back…” she said through gritted teeth.
Teach her a lesson?!” sharpson slammed the table so hard the teacups rattled. “Do you have any idea whn Cassian Rhodes is?! He could bankrupt Vance Corporation with a phone call! And you had the balls to pull this shit right under his nose?!“]
Valeria flinched but kept her chin up defiantly. “Cassian would never actually care about someone like Charlotte.
What was there to be afraid of? What a bunch of cowards
“You still don’t get it! If your little scheme had worked quietly, fine. But you got caught and now they’re fighting back. If they keep ligging, our whole family could go down. You’re absolutely fucking useless. ||
Whitney quickly grabbed her daughter’s arm. “Valeria, apologize to your father right now!
Whitney karw Sharpson well enough to know he wouldn’t tolerate any pushback
Valeria hit her lip hard before finally forcing out,
Sorry
Sharpson took a deep breath, trying to control his rage. “Keep a low profile for a while. Don’t draw any attention to yourself. I’ve already got people handling damage control, hopefully we can come out of this clean.
He needed to be extra careful since he was trying to build relationships with Rhodes Global
