Cary’s smile remained cold and calculating. "Since I have the audacity to offer this guarantee, I’m not afraid of you burning bridges. If you agree to this alliance, you won't just solve the immediate crisis facing Austine Financial Group—you’ll gain a beautiful bride and the full backing of the Cary estate. However, if you refuse, I’m confident the next 'gifts' you receive will be even more substantial. The choice is yours."
Sebastian stared at him with chilling intensity. "Are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no," Cary said with a hollow laugh. "How could this be a threat? This is a transaction—a win-win for both parties. In fact, it’s the most perfect solution to the predicament Austine Financial Group currently finds itself in."
The corner of Sebastian’s lip curled into a cold sneer. "It seems you’ve blocked every path but the one you want me to take, forcing me to choose between two extremes."
Cary’s expression grew devious. "You’re joking. How could I block your path? All roads lead to Rome, but I’m merely pointing out the shortcut—the one with the fewest sacrifices. It’s up to you. Do we win together, or do you intend to take on five families at once and fight to the bitter end?"
