CHAPTER 87

My brother's eyes narrowed, showing frustration and helplessness. "I thought so too. He's the only one who'd go this far."

I stood up suddenly, feeling the heaviness of the situation overwhelming me, making it hard to breathe. "This isn't about the company, is it? Ivan's after me, Elias. He's cornering Dad because he knows I'll be forced to act if he threatens you all."
