This bank has some potential, it just needed a new leadership which I am happy to lead. But as for you, this bank will be able to help you with the kind of support that the big banks would not even consider to propose to you. And it will be a one time bail out. You will have access to reliable financial support.”Alan was so shocked that he was just staring at Justin, speechless for a moment before he shook his head. “Justin, I do not even know what to say….

And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most.

She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative.

And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire.
