"But if we make a loss, then I'm sorry… you'll have to accept that risk too." Liam's tone was cold and detached, purely businesslike. His words left no room for negotiation. This was the harsh reality of investment—there were no guarantees, only risks.
Lily's eyes widened in disbelief. Even though she had chosen to trust Ethan, Liam's outrageous conditions still shocked her. Without thinking, she shot up from her seat, her hands pressing against the table as she glared at him.
"Are you insane?" Her voice was sharp, filled with indignation. "One hundred and fifty million is enough to buy a stake in Reid Industries—even if it's a small one, it still holds real value! And yet, in your rundown company, you're saying we don't even get a say in decisions? No basic guarantees at all?"
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, frustration clear in her expression. She couldn't believe how bold Liam was.
