Morty’s provocation was practically out in the open, and Easton wasn’t about to let it slide.

He shot him a cold glance. “You seem awfully idle lately. Want your uncle to give you

more to do?”

Morty knew exactly what Easton was trying to do–using his uncle to pressure him. It wasn’t going to work

Ellis had no interest in the undercurrent between the two men. One wanted her to be his girlfriend, the other wanted her to remarry him, and neither had ever stopped to ask what she wanted.

If every man on earth died out and only these two were left, she still wouldn’t pick either of them.

of them behind. She returned to Maxwell’s side and resumed her proper place.

Easton wasn’t surprised to see her leave. But when she stood next to another man, her posture confident and natural, his expression darkenied.

She’d just come back from a trip. She’d made it clear she didn’t like Morty and had no one in her heart. So why was she suddenly standing so close to someone else!

Just as he was about to follow her, Morty spoke with a smirk, “You’ve tried everything and Ellis still won’t remarry you. Ever think the problem might be you?”

Easton’s face turned cold, his voice low. “You looking to die?”

Morty didn’t respond. He just took a few steps back–not out of fear, just because it wasn’t worth the energy to argue.

He had no regrets. Getting punched by Easton, having his uncle disapprove–it didn’t matter. He’d liked Ellis for years. He was tired of hiding it.

Ever since Easton moved into Serenity Estate and became her upstairs neighbor, Morty had held back. He didn’t want to crowd her. Let her get fed up with Easton completely.

He was like a damn ghost–never going away. Ellis tamped down the rising disgust in her chest and kept her expression neutral.

Apparently, Easton knew the man Maxwell was talking to. He glanced over and asked, “Who’s this?”

The moment he finished talking, Ellis felt a shift in the air.

Easton’s look at Maxwell wasn’t friendly–there was a sharpness to it, something close to dislike. It felt like there was history. or maybe just instant rivalry,

Maxwell noticed too.

Wanting to fully take over his family’s empire meant more than just capability–connections mattered. He didn’t know Easton personally, but now was as good a time as any.

He offered his hand. “Mr. Hudson. Pleasure to meet you.”
