Tamia rang Kenton up, just like every other time. It appeared those with mutual interests weren't quick to end their relationships.
At that moment, Kenton was frustrated by his phone's incessant ringing. He slumped in front of the screen, unshaven and weary. Even though the stock market had long since closed, his eyes remained glued to the stock charts.
The bank governors, once on good terms with him, all claimed it was hard to approve his loan and offered only a few million-far from what he needed.
Some even implored him to save them from financial ruin, but he saw their plight as a result of their own poor decisions. To make matters worse, Cassian was still nowhere to be found.
Deeply irritated, Kenton nearly ended the call when he found it was from the Montclairs. However, a sudden thought crossed his mind, and he decided to answer
Tamia wasted no time sharing her troubles. When she mentioned the Whitmans' shareholding, Kenton's eyes instantly lit up. He had no intention of disclosing his financial troubles to the Montclair family-only a few insiders were aware of his predicament.
"Of course, I'm willing to buy the shares at a premium. But are you really giving up on the Whitmans, Mrs. Montclair Senior?' Kenton inquired.
Tamia formed her opinion from what she had been told. "I'm more interested in working with the Wray family rather than the Whitmans. It's time to make a choice. That silent Noah has now learned to bite back.
"Given the Whitman family's current state, they no longer measure up to you. Besides, you have the support of 'that person."
Kenton reveled in the flattering remarks. Tamia was right about the fact that the Whitmans were no match for him. He was just facing a 'small issue" with his finances.
"That person" wouldn't leave him in ruin after he found Cassian and settled the accounts. After all, "that person" still needed him and his scholarship committee. His troubles might only last a couple of days, but the Whitman family was headed for chaos!
Kenton brightened up at the thought, though he kept his words modest. "So, you do know I was only bathing in 'that person's' reflected glory. But since you've decided to work together, what about our previous investment contract?"
"I'll have someone transfer a million to your account later. From this point on, the Montclair family is also aligned with 'that person," Tamia replied, believing she had covered every detail in the conversation.
Little did she know that she had covered the shortfall in Kenton's finances.
Kenton was smiling from ear to ear. "Starting now, we stand as true allies. I'm looking forward to your investments, but I'm more interested in the shares you mentioned."
"Everything will come to fruition. You know better than anyone how long I've been planning this, Kenton," Tamia replied.
In truth, she had been plotting since Ophelia became part of the Whitman family. The Montclair family's benefits were secured as long as the Whitmans treated Ophelia well. In particular, Cyrus' birth as the Whitman family's eldest child further solidified that.
But if the Whitmans mistreated Ophelia, she had the right to claim their shares. When Cyrus grew older, the Montclair family would absorb what remained of the Whitmans.
Indeed, Tamia had schemed the perfect plan.
Unfortunately, she was up against Wynter, who she dismissed as incompetent and thrived solely on luck. With Wynter now a threat to Cyrus' position, Tamia vowed to get rid of her, and the Wrays were the perfect accomplices.
Wynter was busy reviewing the accounts when the news reached her. She had earned quite a bit and needed to sort out her finances. "Did she really threaten Uncle Noah with divorce? The Montclair family really is ridiculous.'
