Why are you bent on destroying our family's image?"Roxanne's face remained calm, but Asher could sense the turmoil brewing beneath the surface.

He was just going to put the whole thought behind him as he started the engine, ready to drive off, when a knock on the window made him pause.Seth's smirking face appeared on the other side of the glass, and Asher's instincts told him to be cautious, as he unwind the window and ready to listen to him spill as he relaxed his back on the seat. Seth leaned in, his voice dripping with mockery."Wow, Asher, you really know how to make an entrance...and an exit" Seth sneered. "I mean, who gets thrown out of a party like a piece of trash?

I thought she returned after that, or she not?"Mrs. Odette's expression changed immediately. Why was her husband asking her questions when she was the one who needed answers? She thought to herself.

Call me back as soon as you get this message" he said, trying to convey the importance of the call.Asher then dialed Roxanne's number, wondering how she was doing.

Where did you get this from?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion.Asher, seemingly unfazed by Ryder's outburst, beckoned the bartender to come and collect the money. But just as the bartender was about to reach for the cash, Ryder slapped his hand away. "What the f**k do you think your doing?" Ryder asked, his eyes kept fixed on the bar man's eyes.Asher smiled calmly, his eyes fixed on his phone still. "Allow him, man. We need to get out of here. There's a lot to talk about," he said, his voice low and even.Ryder hesitated, his eyes darting between Asher and the bartender. Finally, he asked the bartender how much the bill was, he counted out the cash, and handed it over him. "Can we go now?" Asher asked, sliding his small handy phone into his pocket.Ryder's eyes narrowed. "Not until you tell me where this whole money came from. L
