Eric smirked playfully, "Mr. Scott, you still have the leisure to stroll around here? But then again, you've got money to burn, right? A few hundred million lost here and there wouldn't bother you."
Mason sneered, "Eric, don't get too cocky. This is only the beginning—just wait. One day, you'll be begging me." His gaze fell briefly on Ella's face, noticing her usual calm demeanor.
"Confidence is one thing, Mr. Scott," Eric quipped, clearly amused, "but all the confidence in the world won't save you when every investment turns into a dead loss."
Eric was thoroughly enjoying himself. Mason had always meddled with Ella, but after Eric's recent maneuver, Mason was now tied up with Bella, a perfect twist that had worked in Ella's favor.
Bella's faux-concerned voice chimed in, "Miss Davis, you should be cautious. The Carter Group was once grand and glamorous, but now that it's fallen, someone might target you next!"
