If only Jarren knew that Amari was Nicky's closest friend—would he still have dared to pull this stunt against her?
Luna Grenor—though already divorced—was no ordinary woman. Her ties to the Clavel family weren't completely severed, and with Mr. Haskel's influence backing her, she was not someone a businessman like Jarren Gomez could ever afford to offend. Yet here he was, trembling before her, realizing just how grave his mistake had been.
Jarren quickly raised his hand, wiping the cold sweat that dampened his forehead. His voice cracked as he stammered, "Miss Grenor, this… this is just a misunderstanding! All of it! I swear, I'll terminate my contract with Miss Santiago right this instant!"
Amari tilted her head, her lips curving into a smile that was as soft as it was dangerous. "If I were to handle Nicky's case personally, Mr. Gomez," she said slowly, her voice carrying the weight of quiet power, "you might end up paying her five hundred million."
