Brian sat down, his demeanor icy.
“I am Brian Hughes, CEO of Hughes Group from Wragos, Rosalynn’s husband. Now tell me, what did

Brian’s gaze was icy as he addressed Darrion, “If you wish to keep a secret, refrain from acting on it.
Given I’ve learned about Beal, I’m certainly capable of bringing the truth to light. Here’s your chance to
come clean. I suggest you take it.”
His tone was a powerful deterrent, causing a shiver to run through Darrion.
Darrion, head bowed, struggled to swallow his fear, not daring to meet Brian’s piercing stare.
“I’m at a loss here. It-it was just the alcohol talking, nearly causing an accident,” he stammered.

His threat hung heavily in the air.

his family.
Brian’s smile was frosty as he speculated, “So, he assured you your family would be cared for in
exchange for your services?”
Darrion’s gaze flickered away. His denial was weak.
Brian scoffed, “You’re quite the resolute one. You have two days to ponder. If you opt for silence, I’ll
demonstrate which holds more influence, a butler or the CEO of Hughes Group. Remember, Skrix may
not be my territory, but disciplining a few individuals is quite trivial to me.”
Observing Darrion’s pallor, Brian’s voice grew gentler.
