The Mercer Group was barely hanging on as it was, but the Blake Group still had some fight left in it. If Sebastian had a moment of insanity and bankrupted the Blake Group this early, the game wouldn't be as fun later on.

Lillian smiled. "He's an incredibly selfish person. The moment he sensed things weren't right, he would never have let Bella proceed like that.
