It was later on when Celeste finally knew what had happened between Jordan and Erickson all those years ago—how they had parted ways, why they never went back to the way they used to be, and why Jordan, whom she thought was just a normal friend, knew so much more about who Erickson was and what the Sharks did.
It was when Erickson, who was the chairman of the Brightwell family, received his first sum of money to add his legacy to the family. It meant that at his young age, Erickson needed to start a company to add to the family's wealth, and that money he had given to Jordan.
Celeste felt her heart sink deeper and deeper as Jordan explained his intentions from the very beginning. He wanted to dive into the agricultural industry—like coffee, tea, and sugar. Ultimately, he decided on sugar, knowing that coffee and tea usually grew in colder climates or at higher altitudes.
