At that moment Jerry leaned back in his chair, completely unfazed by the question.
With a detached, expressionless face, he finally answered Ramos's question.
"She asked me to marry her for one billion dollars."
The reaction was immediate.
Ramos's cheeks sequenced with anger. Amelia's hands tightened around the edge of the table.
Even Owen, who had been trying to be detached, couldn't suppress the flash of fury from crossing his eyes.
Abigail really did it.
She really took it upon herself to married a complete stranger—all because of power.
Owen's jaw was clenched.
' If I he'd known she would be this desperate, i would have had her locked up all day.'
"Damn it!"
He'd overestimated.
Horribly.
Now, this strange stranger—a man with no history with Abigail, no relationship with the family, no struggle in this entire plot—was now the most commanding individual in the room.
At that moment Owen's fists clenched beneath the table.
This was not right.
