"Alright. I just needed to hear it from you. Let's focus on our work. Good luck with your presentation." "Thanks," he replied, his voice softer now. "I'll see you when I get back."

Mark leaned in, a sly grin on his face. "Whoever marries into the Hamilton family would be a blessed man. Our families are wealthy, but nobody can compare to the Hamiltons. Well, one family can, but they kicked their son out." "You mean the Duncans? I heard their son left on his own when he was 18," David inquired, his voice icy and controlled. "Anyway," Mark continued with a hint of sarcasm, "your personal taste has certainly improved. From your fragile ex-wife, the servant's adopted daughter, to a billionaire heiress." David's cold gaze sent a shiver down Mark's spine as he clenched his jaw at the mention of his ex-wife. He took another sip of the neat whiskey to maintain his composure.
