Whats the mission , Mr.
Stewart ? Hed worked for Percival for fifteen years and knew better than to ask unnecessary questions .
When Percival gave him that look , it meant he had a job to do At past twenty right , Percival had cemented his reputation as the unshakable head of the Stewart family Ruthless , calculating , and decisive , he ruded not just the business world but also carried the weight of the familys political and military legacy He wasnt just frared he was respected in a way that left finde room for rebellion .
The Benpens once had a good relationship with my grandfather , Percival said , his voice calm but icy .
Now , despite his insistence on this arranged marriage for good fortune , theyve sent us someone who doesnt even bear their name .
Its an insult .
He paused letting the weight of his words senile before continuing .
Tell them this , if they wont honor their promise , then the bond between the Stewart and Bennett families ends here .
We owe them nothing .
The finalay in his tone was enough to send a chill down Callums spine .

Percivals move wasnt just about severing ties ; it was about making sure the Bennetts knew their games wouldnt fly .
If they thought they could use this marriage as leverage or stir up trouble later , they were in for a rude awakening .
For her Percivals tone was cold enough to freeze the air .
Not quite .
She neutralized the poison in my system .
Whether or not I survive , the Stewart family owes her for that And since the Bennetts clearly dont value her and she doesnt even share their name I « theres no marriage to discuss .
Theyve never acknowledged her , have they ? er publicly The Stewarts werent in the habit of throwing their weight around unnecessarily , but they sure as hell didnt take thought they could play both sides , Percival was about to shut that down fur good .

If the Bennetts Orson let out a low whistle , leaning back with a thoughtful nod .
Youve got a point .
The Bennetts are trying to have it both ways .
Cutting them off now unes a lot of hassle keeps them from pulling the old friends card when they need a favor later Percival rose without another word , his movements deliberate and unhurried .
Orson blinked , then scrambled to his feet .
Whoa , whoa , where are you going ! Wait for me- -Im not missing this .
Odalys had just started to drift off when muffled voices from outside pulled her back to reality .
She frowned , tilting her head toward the door , but the soundprooting in the room turned the conversation into indistinct murmurs .
Whatever was going on , it didnt sound peaceful .
Her phone buzzed , the vibration startling in the silence .
She glanced at the screen Hannah Bennett .
Without a moments hesitation , she swiped to reject the call and tossed the phone onto the bedside table .
