"Returning to Prideful?" Hannah asked in a soft voice, "But I do not like to feel beneath anyone."
George River furrowed his brows, and after a long pause finally spoke, "No one will surpass you."
Hannah looked at him, "Not even Tiffany Lynch?"
An almost negligible struggle flitted through George River's eyes before he nodded in agreement.
"Mr. River is still as ruthless." Hannah cast her gaze away, appearing somewhat bored. She stood up, "The terms are rather appealing, a pity someone has beaten you to it."
George River's expression abruptly changed; he asked angrily, "Who else has proposed such things to you?"
The circle they were in was always filled with chaos. Wealthy men like George River, few of them had true self-restraint. Arnold Simmons might be considered an exception.
Most tended to keep several paramours for pleasure and for the bragging rights it afforded them.
