The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 637

"But if I leak the fact that he fathered a fake illegitimate child while we were married, his entire PR narrative crumbles. I'm sure I don't need to explain the catastrophic fallout Landon Enterprises will face."

"Don't you dare!" Arthur Sr. roared, radiating absolute, terrifying authority.

Riley's fingers tightened slightly around the phone. "Push someone hard enough, and they'll dare to do anything. The only reason I haven't gone straight to the press—and am giving you the courtesy of this phone call—isn't because I'm afraid of the Landon family's power. I'm doing it for Alora.

"I refuse to let my daughter grow up being whispered about and mocked because her father is a national laughingstock. But if he insists on stalking me and making my life a living hell, then I'll make sure none of us has any peace!"

Without giving Arthur Sr. a chance to respond, Riley ended the call.

Arthur Sr. cared about the survival of Landon Enterprises more than his own life. She was betting everything that he wouldn't sit idly by and let Pierce destroy it!

Riley started the engine and drove toward her apartment.

About forty minutes later, she pulled into the parking lot of the Grand Regency. She had just stepped out of her car when a blinding pair of headlights swept rapidly across the pavement, accompanied by the brutal screech of tires. A sports car slammed to a violent halt in an empty space nearby.

The door flew open, and Pierce Landon stormed out. He closed the distance between them in seconds, his face dark with suppressed rage. "Why the hell did you tell my grandfather about the kid?"

Well, that was fast.

A cold, mocking smile crept onto Riley's lips. "So, it's perfectly fine for you to hire Zara Zimmerman to humiliate me, and it's perfectly fine for you to manipulate George and Elaine into holding my legal paperwork hostage, but I'm not allowed to strike back?"

A flicker of panic darted through Pierce's eyes, masked instantly by a softer, almost injured expression. "Riley, you've got it all wrong. I have no idea who is feeding you these lies, but I would never do anything to hurt you."
