The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 648

Riley didn't want to worry her, so she kept her tone light. "No, it's just that you said you wanted to see Alora every day, right?"

"Yes, yes, of course! I'll have your dad turn the car around right now, and I'll send a few more people over to help you pack."

At a luxury hotel.

Pierce pushed open the door to the suite and saw Arthur sitting on the living room sofa, his face grim. Scott had already informed him that his grandfather and Beatrice had arrived in Statenbury that afternoon.

"Grandpa," Pierce greeted him, scanning the room but not seeing Beatrice. "Where's Mom?"

Arthur ignored the question, his voice tight with suppressed anger. "What exactly are you trying to do? Going to war with your brother over a woman? Are you trying to put me in an early grave?"

"He stole what was mine," Pierce said coldly. "He's using his power to take my woman. Why should I just roll over and let him?"

"You're already divorced! Why are you still obsessed with this?"

"Because I love her."

Arthur looked like he was about to explode. "If you loved her, why the hell did you cheat on her?"

A flash of regret crossed Pierce's sharp features, and he lowered his head. "I thought she'd never leave me. If I'd known it would end up like this, I never would have touched Seraphina."

Arthur slammed his cane violently against the floor. "But you did touch her! And you let her have your son! You and Riley are done. Get that through your head! Tomorrow morning, you are coming with me to apologize to your brother. You will swear to never see Riley again and beg him to let Landon Enterprises survive."

Sebastian was genuinely furious this time. Even Arthur's phone calls pleading for leniency had been ignored. There was no other option but to surrender. If they kept fighting, the company would collapse entirely.

"Never!" Pierce roared, the veins bulging on his forehead.
