He figured that since our family is wealthy, losing a couple of millions wouldn't hurt us, so he just...

He said this whole ordeal is going to bankrupt his company, and he has kids and elderly parents to feed."

"Are you going to let him off the hook?"

"Absolutely not. My children are my absolute bottom line. No one touches my family and walks away.

I've already told the police to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. There is zero room for negotiation."

"Good. That's exactly how it should be handled.

Also, Silas runs a highly professional security detail. They have different tiers of bodyguards depending on the threat level. If you're interested, I can put you in touch to hire a detail for Celine."

"I'd appreciate that. I trust your judgment. I'll take a look tomorrow when I drop off the commission fee for the rescue.

"I'm heading back today."

She slid an elegant envelope across the table.

"Your uncle had this delivered for you yesterday.

Sera is getting engaged. The banquet is this Sunday."

"What? She's engaged? To who?"
