"What business do you have with him?" Varyn asked.
Alex smiled. He didn't care about the dead man. What he wanted was who was really behind this plot, and what the goal was.
He truly wondered if it was really just to make money.
"I recently bought a business here," Alex said. "It seems your nephew did quite a bit of damage to it."
Varyn went silent for a moment.
"How about this," Varyn said.
"I don't want to fight with you. Give me some time, and I will return all the money."
Alex laughed.
Beatrice's life was destroyed. She barely stayed afloat, to the point she had to sell their family business.
Her father, shocked by the scam, had grown older quickly. Now he needed a lot of rest.
