Lilian’s lips curled into a cold, sharp smile. “Is that so? By your logic, I should be thanking you for the chance. But I’ve always been a bit ungrateful. I usually throw people’s goodwill back in their faces, and honestly, I’d love to see exactly how ruthless you can be. Skyreach didn’t get this far by playing nice, but I’ve yet to see what heartless actually looks like. Don’t hold back, I’m ready to learn.”

“I see,” Rowan said, his voice dropping to a hollow chill. “So you’ve decided to burn this once and for all.”

Lilian’s laugh was pure mockery. “Didn’t you burn it the second you threatened me? Let’s not forget why I’m even sitting here. You blackmailed me into this room and then expected a friendly chat? You clearly don’t know me. There is nothing I hate more than being threatened.”

“Fine. Have it your way,” Rowan snapped. “I take it you don’t care if your identity goes public, then?”

“If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t have shown up,” Lilian countered. “But here we are, and we couldn’t make a deal. You can’t meet my price, so we’re done. As for my identity… Well, if you’re that desperate to leak it, go ahead. Knock yourself out.”

Rowan stared at her, trying to find a crack in her composure. “You really aren’t afraid? Skyreach has made plenty of enemies on its way up, including your own father’s family. If the world finds out you’re the one pulling the strings, your life is over. The headlines write themselves. The heartless daughter who drove her own father into a corner, bankrupted the Sinclair Group, and tossed her stepmother into prison. Once that breaks, your reputation will be in the gutter. Skyreach will take the hit right along with you. You’re smart enough to know what that means.”

Lilian’s gaze was like a knife. “You’ve certainly done your homework. I have to admire the effort you put into this.”

Rowan sneered. “I don’t walk into a negotiation unprepared. Sure, the Sinclairs probably deserved what they got, but the public doesn’t know that. To them, you’re a monster. These stories will be a permanent stain on your name. So, are we ready to talk seriously now?”

Lilian watched him for a long beat, then suddenly smiled. “Since you’ve already laid out your grand plan, why stop now? Go for it. I’m curious to see just how much damage my reputation can actually take.”

Rowan’s eyes narrowed. “You might not value your name, but what about the company? You built Skyreach from nothing, brick by brick. You’re telling me you’d watch it all collapse just to spite me? You really don’t care?”
