At the time, Patrick had Logan pinned to the floor, kicking him hard. “You idiot, what the hell did you do out there? The Lancaster family just called to terminate the partnership! They said our family is overreaching and ill-mannered!”
Patrick’s kicks made Logan cry out in pain.
Marianne rushed over to block the blows but got kicked herself. “What are you doing? This worthless son of mine cost us… cost the Wynn family our chance to climb higher!”

This time, the collaboration was an invitation initiated by the Lancaster Group’s headquarters!
Because of that unsolicited offer, the Wynn family had spent the day fielding calls from major corporations they could never have dreamed of approaching before.
