“Lori, don’t be sarcastic with Ari,” Morgan interjected.
Ariel regarded their act with calm detachment. She didn’t even bother to prepare coffee for them. “Get straight to the point.”
Smiling, Morgan started, “Ari, I’ve been hearing… Jayson’s been making big moves lately. It seems that he’s secured a rare market. I had people look into it. This investment of his could bring in millions of dollars in profit every year. I’ve been thinking of making some investments myself. Could you bring it up
with Jayson and let us be a part of it?”
The industry had already been in turmoil recently.
Jayson’s move stunned countless people. It was terrifying for someone to secure such a massive monopoly at such a young age. And who wouldn’t go crazy for the profits involved?
Ariel stared coldly at his greedy expression. “Mr. Sanderson, you really have no shame, huh?”
Lori scowled as she glared at Ariel. “How dare you speak to Dad like that?”

Her dismissal left no ambiguity.
As far as she was concerned, her reply left no room for doubt.
Morgan’s expression finally darkened. His smile faded, replaced by a complex look. “Ari, leaving no room for negotiation isn’t wise. You shouldn’t learn that from your mother. A complete lack of tact will only
cost you dearly.”
Lori’s eyes glimmered with restrained malice and excitement. “See, Dad? Since she likes to do things the

hard way, why bother being polite to her?”
Ariel sensed the dangerous undertone immediately.
Sure enough, Morgan sighed and placed a photo on her desk. “I didn’t want to do this, but you’ve really
upset me.”
Ariel glanced down. In that instant, her gaze turned cold, stripped of any warmth.
