The company was Maria’s life and he had joked with her life so he was on high alert. Although it wasn’t entirely his fault, Owen had asked him to do it. At first, Owen had asked him to sell the stocks at half the price but he had called him back later that day to spread rumors that the stocks were sold instead as this would be bad business for Maria.

He was bulky and well built and he had a stoic expression on his face, Owen knew from that look that he wasn’t welcome, but he choose not to be intimidated. He was middle aged and his hair was a mixture of black and grey and he was dressed in a white tuxedo shirt coupled with a fine black denim jean and a casual slipper.

The rest also stepped into their various cars, taking their positions before they started their journey. Maria had called him about three times while he was there and although he had assured her that everything was fine, he knew she would be dead worried.

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX Tamara had remained silent after Owen's question and Owen was getting impatient with her lack of speech but he remained calm. He knew what she was trying to do, she was trying to emotionally blackmail him into agreeing to her terms and giving in to her needs. “I won't actually call it a loan yuuno, just a little favor from one family member to the other. You are well aware that my company's bankruptcy would also put your own company in trouble.” Owen scowled visibly, she wanted help but instead of her begging or asking for it, she was trying to blackmail him into helping her. Tamara was a sly wretch and that was why she had always been the pillar of the family. She had all the traits of a businesswoman, she was wise, cold and greedy. He had always known that he would have a hard time dealing with her. Maria was not too intelligent and he might admit that she had the brain of a fish. But Tamara was the direct opposite of Maria, she was very intelligent and
