Liam's tension grew. "Tell me clearly," he demanded impatiently. "Don't hide anything."
Rowan nodded, finally relenting. "Alright," he said quietly. "You deserve to know everything. I'll tell you everything." He then started narrating how he had fallen into Zachary's web.
"It all started about a year ago. Zachary blackmailed my secretary and coerced her into leaking the company's confidential information. By the time I found out," he paused, shaking his head with regret, "it was already too late. Zachary had everything in his hands. If I go against him, the company will collapse."
Liam couldn't believe what he had just heard. Zachary had not only targeted the Grants, but he had also put the Lawsons under his feet, manipulating them for his own gain. Perhaps even planning to use them as pawns against the Grants. Yet something still didn't add up. Why would his father force him to marry Riya?
