Rowan picked up his glass, gently swirling the crimson liquid. “Try it,” he said with a relaxed smile. “It’s a 1982 Margaux from my private collection. It’s delicate and velvety, with a richness that stays with you. It doesn’t have the same floral elegance as a Lafite, but I’ve always preferred its unique character.”

Chloe picked up her glass with practiced grace and took a cautious sip. “It’s wonderful,” she said, her smile still a bit stiff.

Rowan brought the glass to his nose, inhaling the bouquet. “I’m glad you appreciate it. It’s a shame, really. I invited your half–sister to try it last week, but she turned me down. I wonder if she’ll ever regret missing out on something this good.”

Chloe blinked, momentarily confused. “My sister?”

Rowan continued to swirl his wine. “Isn’t Lilian your half–sister?”

Chloe’s expression soured instantly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Rowan, but my family never acknowledged her. She isn’t my sister.”

Rowan noted the flash of anger on her face and chuckled. “My mistake. Though, from the looks of it, it’s safe to assume the two of you don’t exactly get along.”

“You wouldn’t have brought me here if you hadn’t already done your homework on our relationship,” Chloe said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Do you really think we’d be on good terms? The entire city is talking about what she did to us. My dear sister is the reason our company collapsed. She’s the one who put my mother behind bars. How could we possibly be on good terms?”

Rowan’s smile took on a more calculating edge. “Good. That means there’s a real possibility for us to work together.”

Chloe looked at him, her curiosity piqued. “From the way you’re talking, it sounds like you have a grudge against her too. And you said you invited her for a drink? You two actually know each other?”

“We do,” Rowan said lightly. “Last week, in this very club, in this very suite, I made her an offer, and she walked away. We don’t have some ancient blood feud, honestly. Her only crime is being far too stubborn for her own good.”

He gave her a brief overview of the situation, including the recent media blitz.

Chloe’s

eyes widened as the pieces clicked together. “So, you’re the one behind the headlines?
