“It’s true–the Whitman family has always relied on Moore Group. But why would the Moore family actually help their enemy? They just squeezed out whatever profit was left.” Isabella’s voice went cold.

Her eyes narrowed as a thought crossed her mind. “Sander, do you want to take control of the Whitman family yourself?”

Sander let out a bitter laugh. “Even if I wanted to, I doubt I’d get the chance.”

Isabella hesitated. “There’s a chance. All it takes is a big investment–enough to buy back Whitman Properties.”

“You mean the Carter family heiress? The one coming back with all that money?” He paused. “She could save the Whitman family. But the Allen family is hosting a dinner tonight. They found a contact who knows her, and they invited Moore Group to meet. Unless something goes wrong, that money’s as good as gone.”

Isabella’s eyes widened slightly.

I’ve only been back a few days. Since when do I have a contact? And how did they reach the Allen family?

Even if I throw my money into the ocean, I am not giving it to the Allen family or Moore Group.

While she stayed quiet, Sander said, “I’ve got to go. I’ll call you

back.”

She snapped out of it and called her private banker.

Meanwhile, outside the Moore Group building, Hannah wore a black embroidered mermaid dress, four–inch white diamond heels, and a black–and–white fur coat.

Skyler walked beside her, holding her hand.

He was the complete opposite of her flashy outfit–black cap, black mask, black jacket, totally dressed in shadows.

They both took a deep breath at the entrance, then walked up to the front desk. “Hello, do you have an appointment?”

“The surname’s Carter. No appointment. But Mr. Moore is going to want to see arrogant queen..

The receptionist felt her scalp tingle. She forced a smile and called upstairs.

Linda picked up. Xavier was in a meeting.

When the receptionist said a lady surnamed Carter was there, Linda almost thought it was Isabella coming back.

But Isabella wouldn’t need to go through the front desk. Then it clicked–the Carter family heiress.

“Does she look wealthy?” Linda’s eyes lit up.

The receptionist glanced at Hannah.

She had oversized curls, sunglasses, red lips, and so much jewelry it almost looked fake.

“Yes,” she whispered. “Very wealthy.”

Linda glanced toward the meeting room and smiled, “Bring her up. Escort her personally. Be respectful, got it?”

The Allen family hadn’t actually found the Carter family heiress. But Ray felt bad for Linda, so he came up with this plan–spread the news about a fake dinner to lure the real one out.

If Xavier found out, they could just blame it on the Allen family playing games. No one would point at Linda.

If it worked, Linda would earn Xavier’s approval.

Linda had known about Ray’s plan for a while but wasn’t sure if she should go along with it. Today, she’d wanted to come clean to Xavier. But then Isabella showed up with that divorce talk.

Xavier’s mood had been black ever since.

After Linda left, Isabella packed up and took off. Xavier had been in meetings nonstop–like he was working off steam.

She had no idea where things stood with the divorce.

Ten minutes later, the receptionist personally escorted Hannah to the VIP lounge.

On the way, Hannah casually asked about the executive floor. The receptionist answered respectfully, just as Linda had instructed.

The moment they reached the lounge, Hannah exchanged a look with Skyler. He pulled his cap down lower and slipped out while the receptionist was getting water.

He made it to the elevator and rode straight up to the executive floor.

With the meeting going on, the office was half–empty. Skyler moved fast, staying low. No one noticed him.

He opened his watch and started connecting to a computer, planning to shut down part of the building’s system–create a distraction to get the boss out of his office.

But when he got to the executive floor, he saw the office door was open.
