The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 469

"I know you're competing with Alexander for control of the Lloyd family," Frey said, her voice steady. "If your capital chain breaks, you'll be in a tough spot."

"But I’m willing to use my money to buy you some time. All I ask in return is that you help me find my brother."

Sawyer was taken aback by Frey’s direct offer of a bribe.

Their relationship had shifted from mere cooperation to a more transactional one, which he found intriguing at first.

What Frey proposed did indeed affect him. Despite his low profile under the pressure from Alexander, he had finally found a potential way out.

He could afford to wait a bit longer; making a move too early could be detrimental, especially if he revealed his strength too soon.

Yet, Frey represented an obstacle he couldn’t ignore. Her marriage to Nathaniel was particularly exciting for him.

He didn’t want to remain in the shadows any longer. Although he had been contacting Frey discreetly with Mandy's help, he yearned to confront her openly.

Even if it risked severe retaliation from Nathaniel, it was preferable to wait indefinitely.

The cost of his actions was significant. Although he had begun to erode the Lloyd family’s power, Alexander wasn’t on the brink of collapse yet.

This marked Sawyer’s first true act of defiance.

With Vault Corp under Lloyd Group’s name now tied to Frey, securing Vault Corp’s support was crucial for him to compete effectively.

Sawyer had acted preemptively, catching Alexander by surprise, but he was not in a stable position.

The fact that Nathaniel now intended to collaborate with Alexander complicated matters further.
