He was being dragged into this mess for no reason, and his own daughter was siding with an outsider! It was infuriating!
Callum said emotionally, “Angela, Miss Everhart, the Aurelius Dominion Group is about to cancel all its partnerships with us, and you want me to speak up for him? What is this Cross Group anyway? Is it worth the Everhart Group being dragged down with it?”
Darren had come hoping to persuade the Everhart Group to continue their partnership, but it was now clear that was impossible. Even a cornered animal knows when to cut its losses to survive, and the Cross Group had no deep ties to the Everhart Group beyond Angela’s involvement.
Darren’s hope died. He said to Angela, “Angela, don’t make things difficult for your father. If Aurelius Dominion is canceling its contracts because of me, then the Everhart Group is making the right decision. Cutting all ties with us will at least allow your company to continue operating normally.”
Angela said guiltily, “But I was the one who proposed this investment. You only started these projects because of our funding. If the funding dries up, the Cross Group is dead, and you’ll be buried in personal debt.”
“I know,” Darren said. “But the Cross Group was already on the brink of ruin. I can’t drag the Everhart Group down with it.”
Darren turned to Callum. “Mr. Everhart, I’m sorry. Although I don’t know why the Aurelius Dominion Group is targeting me, I deeply apologize for the impact this has had on your partnership with them. I will return the funds as quickly as possible. I hope you won’t blame Angela for this. She was just being kind and wanted to help the Cross Group get back on its feet.”
Angela’s heart ached as she listened to Darren. Even at a time like this, he was still thinking of her, worried that her father would blame her.
When Darren arrived, he had planned to convince Callum to continue the partnership. He was confident his abilities could bring great profits to the Everhart Group, enough to offset the losses from the canceled Aurelius Dominion deal.
