“Well, that is my condition. If you break up with me, I will tell my father to withdraw everything. So, what do you think? Do you still want to break up with me?”
Piper was certain that Ezrah would change his mind. After all, he prioritized money more than anything in the world.
Ezrah thought carefully. That partnership would boost the Gannons’ finances by twenty percent, but if he moved on so fast, then it would only confirm Ethan’s accusation that Piper was the reason for Zora’s death.
In the worst case, he would lose his position to either of his elder brothers, and that would also mean disaster for the company, which had thrived over the years under Ezrah’s leadership. After coming to a conclusion, he pushed the file he was scrutinizing before back to her.
“You should know by now that I’m not one who flinches at threats. Goodbye, Piper.”
Piper was so shocked, a tear dropped down her cheek. Was Ezrah planning to remarry Zora’s dead body? How could he let go of such an opportunity because of a dead woman?
“Ezrah, think carefully about this.” Her voice sounded teary, but Ezrah was far from being sympathetic. After all he did for her, including losing his child because he had left Zora to herself even when she was sick in her pregnancy, she dared to threaten him?
Ezrah was not one to yield easily. It also wasn’t as if he owed her anything, as they were both to benefit from this partnership. It would have been a win-win situation if they had even gone ahead with it without anything between them.
