But now, before Caleb, it seemed like his aura was completely subdued.

Neither of them looked particularly well. Caleb remained silent, and it was Dexter who spoke. first. Well... The

Langley Group's gesture of goodwill is, lettell you, quite the surprise. Sending a dimwit to meet with us from

the Fitzgerald Group suggests that perhaps we needn't bother discussing this partnership any further.”

“Indeed, we needn't. Caleb scoffed. He seemed to start a killing spree at any moment when hist fury was

cracklina.

Caleb seemed on the verge of transforming into a demon and ready to tear his adversary to shreds especially

when he faced Dexter.

Dexter furrowed his brow; if there was no discussion to be had, why had Caleb summoned him personally it not

Caleb's gaze on Dexter was icy, but when he looked up at me, his eyes instantly softened with an almost puppy-

Did he have dual personalities? He's really good at switching them.

| coughed lightly, feeling a bit unsettled, “Mr. Fitzgerald, with Brendan ill, Caleb is the sole heir to the Langley

His voice was hoarse from being smoked. It was not unpleasant, but instead strangely intimidating.

Dexter stared at Caleb with a steely expression, his gaze lingering on the hand holding me. “Fine, we'll see who

“Mr. Fitzgerald, this way, please,” said Eric, opening the door to show Dexter out.

Dexter, accompanied by his assistant, walked to the door and glanced back at me.
