"You're too generous," said Fitch. "My granddad always said we could never repay what you've done for the Duncans, but this? It's nothing." Fitch was quick to stand, echoing the sentiment, careful not to slight. Some debts of gratitude were lifelong keepsakes.The others joined in, assuring Alexande
"Mister Fitch Duncan, we're all blue-bloods from Walganus Capital. Don't you think it's a bit out of line to talk to me that way?" Elidor did not want to start a feud with Fitch, but the insults had stung, and he was desperate to save his dignity.In the cutthroat circles of Walganus Capital, losing
The old woman's pride was palpable, and her voice rose sharply. "You're the troublemaker, aren't you? Out with you! Peak Horizon Clubhouse doesn't welcome your kind!" She spoke as if she owned the place."Open your eyes, you old hag, and look closely!" With a swift gesture, Alexander revealed the Oc
