A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1745

After that, Alejandro carried Millie outside without saying another word.

While they ate, Melanie casually asked, “How are things with the Larks?”

Alejandro answered back just as casually, “We’re currently in the midst of discussing their acquisition. They aren’t letting up at the moment, but I think they won’t be able to continue holding on much longer.”

Then, Melanie remained silent. Alejandro suddenly asked, “That’s it? I thought you would’ve said something else.”

Melanie snickered. “What else can I say? It’s their own fault that things have developed up to this stage. Even if you hadn’t stepped in, Jackson probably wouldn’t have gone easy on them either. I’m not that saintly; I can’t even say what’s going to happen to me, let alone worry about them. Moreover... Even if I begged you, you wouldn’t help the Larks anyway, so what’s there for me to say when I already know the outcome? Even if you help me defend the Larks, they’re still in the wrong, so if you go up against the Wests as well, how am I supposed to look them in the eye again? It wouldn’t be beneficial for you either.”
