297 Poetic Justice

(Judy)

I built this empire from the ground up. Brennan Industries is mine again, and I’ll be damned if I let it slip through my fingers. Gabriel’s sisters... they’ve got shares, but they don’t have the backbone to hold onto them.

I’ll buy them out, take majority ownership.

I sit in my office, looking out at the city skyline, and my mind spins with possibilities. Gus labeled a traitor? It doesn’t make sense. Not him. Gus has been involved in all sorts of shit over the years, but a traitor? No.

I know him better than anyone knows him. One thing is for sure, the only person who knows exactly what’s going on is Gus.

Still, it’s all over the news. Brennan Industries is connected to this mess because of Jayden. And Jayden... my son, has walked away from everything. From me, from this business.

It’s like he doesn’t care about the life I built for him, the sacrifices I made, or the hell I went through with Greg.

And Gus... I shake my head, trying to tamp down the anger bubbling up inside me.
