Nina froze the second she heard his words.

Audrey’s face flushed bright red with rage. “You-!”

“You and the Grey family schemed to force me into this engagement before. I held back for the sake of your reputation, but if you ever speak harshly to Nina again, I will not let it slide.”

“Would you really cut ties with the Beaumonts over her?”

“I hold full control over the Grey Group now. Breaking off all ties with your family is nothing difficult for me.”

“Fine. Jensen Grey! Just you wait! Defy my family for this woman if you dare! My brother will never let you get away with this!”

Audrey stormed out of the house in a fit of anger.

Nina was still stuck in shock after the scene unfolded. “Were you just joking earlier?”

“I meant every word.”

“Everything you said was true then?”

“What do you think?”

“I know you have no feelings for Audrey, but using me as an excuse like this… have you thought about all the consequences?”

“It’s the perfect way to kill off any thoughts you have of working with Julian,” Jensen spoke calmly. “Head back to you from any trouble the Beaumonts

Linholt tomorrow. I’ll shield cause later on, but after today, you can forget all cooperation plans with Julian.”

“You’re really something.”

Nina instantly realized his blunt confession was just meant to anger Audrey. He had used her not only to distance himself from Audrey, but also to put an end to her business partnership with Julian.

Just then, Jensen’s phone rang. It was Kent. He picked up the call.

“I’m taking a couple days off and staying home.”

“But what about company affairs, sir?”

“Handle everything remotely. Also tell the maid to stock up on groceries. Just make sure there’s no lamb meat.”

“Understood, Mr. Grey.”

Nina was touched that he still remembered she hated lamb.

“I’m heading back to Linholt tomorrow. What about you?”

“I’ve still got unfinished business there, so I’ll go back with you.”

“What about your work here in Halmont?”

“The Grey Group has plenty of staff to take care of things. You worry far too much, Ms. Tann.”

“I just…”

“Finished eating? I’ll do the dishes.”

He took her plate straight away and walked toward the kitchen before she could reply.

“I hope you think carefully about the investment. If you fund my project, things will only get messier between you and Audrey.”

“And so what?”

“I’m serious, you need to weigh this properly.”

In her place, she would never abandon her career prospects just for someone else. Splitting

up

with Audrey would surely be a huge loss for him.

“I’ve never been the type to climb the ladder relying on a woman’s connections. Nina, I’m telling you plainly right now-as long as I’m around, you will never team up with Julian.”

“I don’t want to owe you favors, nor do I want others to label me a homewrecker.”

“Who said this capital is all free handouts?”

“What are you getting at?”

“If The T Company project turns profitable, I get my share of dividends. If it ends up losing

money…”

“I’ll cover all the losses myself?”

“Principal plus interest.”

“You truly are the textbook definition of a shrewd businessman.

“I take that as a compliment.”

Nina couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation. “Don’t flatter

ourself. I wasn’t praising you.”

“If you feared taking losses, you never should have brought this project to me. Everyone knows I never end up on the losing side in business.”

She knew that well enough. It was exactly how he had become the youngest top leader of the Grey Group in just five years.

“Rest assured, this project is guaranteed to turn a profit.”

Seeing the firm resolve in her eyes, Jensen fell silent for a moment. “You’re pushing so hard to land this project for The T Company. Is it purely for your own career, or is there some other reason behind it?”

Nina frowned. “What other reason could there possibly be?”
