Tristan casually added, as if it were an afterthought, “As for Grandpa using those shares to pressure you into having a child, I can handle that too. After this, you won’t have to worry about anything. And I can even help you secure the shares.”
The car rolled to a stop outside Genevieve’s studio.
She reached for her seat belt, but the man beside her suddenly leaned in.
His presence closed around her in an instant, that same crisp cedar filling the space until it felt as though there was nowhere to breathe.
Genevieve’s body went rigid. She shifted back toward the door on instinct, her eyes sharp with warning.
Tristan stopped with a clear gap between them.
His gaze held hers in the dark, steady and unreadable, but he didn’t move closer. Instead, he reached past her, opened the glove compartment, and pulled out a thick document envelope.
“Relax. This is just me paying a little upfront.” He held it out to her. “Call it a welcome gift for my new ally.”
Regina returned to her apartment and lost it. She swept everything off the table.
The crash of glass and ceramic filled the room as tears streaked down her face, and something vicious twisted in her
expression.
Why? Why was Genevieve always the one everyone admired, while she was treated like something people wanted to crush under their feet?
She blamed it all on Genevieve.
Just then, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Zachary.
“Stop stirring things up and behave.”
Behave?
Regina stared at the words until her hands started shaking.
Then, she thought of someone-a former studio assistant Genevieve had personally fired, Jennifer Stone.
Jennifer was incompetent, and she had sticky fingers. When Genevieve caught her, she called the police and had her hauled in. Jennifer spent two weeks in jail.
Jennifer must have hated Genevieve, and she loved money.
Regina dialed a number. “Hello. Jennifer? I’ve got a job for you. Are you interested?”
There was a pause on the other end. “What kind of job?”
Regina said, “The kind that makes you rich. I need you to testify that when Genevieve worked at Lambert Group, she used her position to leak company secrets to a competitor.”
“That’s… That’s perjury!”
“Five million dollars,” Regina said, naming the number without batting an eye. “When it’s done, I’ll even arrange for you to leave the country.”
The line went quiet.
Five million dollars!

Jennifer’s eyes practically lit up.
Genevieve had ruined her career as a perfumer. Now, she could make Genevieve suffer while getting paid for it.
“Fine,” Jennifer said. “I’m in.”

Zachary returned to Regina’s apartment and found the place wrecked. He frowned at the mess.
Regina walked out of the bedroom as if nothing had happened. She was draped in a silk robe and wearing a facial mask.
She casually remarked, “You’re back?”
Zachary’s patience was wearing thin, and his voice carried a hard edge. “Listen carefully. Before I’m done with Genevieve, you’re not to do anything else. No more stunts. And if you don’t listen, don’t expect me to show you any mercy.”
He turned and went into the study, shutting the door behind him.
Show her any mercy?
Regina looked at the closed door and sneered.
He was just a pawn, yet he had the nerve to think he could boss her around.
you chose her so i married better
