Claire tightened her grip on her wine glass. "What are you planning to do with him?"

Connor leaned back, unfazed. "Didn't you always say | was born a bad seed? I've just picked up a few tricks from

you, sis. Compared to you, I'm not even close to being ruthless." Claire let out a dry laugh. "You truly are a devil

"What exactly do you plan to do with Barrett?"

Teddy whispered, "Rumor has it he's back because..."

Connor frowned slightly. "The Sartori and Shaw families have always stayed out of each other's way. Besides, the

Sartori elders have been abroad for years. Isaac and | are known rivals. Going over now would look like I'm trying

Connor replied coolly, "Make sure he's well taken care of. | won't be going."
