“Yet one more factor, earlier than I allow you to go,” I say. “Is there any purpose the meals critic Richard Wright must declare that you simply’ve bribed him to offer La Vie favorable critiques for the previous two years?”

Blackmon’s eyes bulge so broad that I wish to inform him to watch out or he’ll pop a socket.

“You …” He peters off and glares at me. After just a few beats of silence, he begins to snort. “That’s what this entire factor is about.”

He wags a finger at me. “I knew that snake was as much as one thing.”

“Excuse me?” I ask.

“Don’t play dumb with me, Ms. Kennedy.” He leans into the desk, palms clasped in entrance of him. “You’re serving to him, aren’t you?”

“Serving to who?”

“Dae Kim. Because of this you’re investigating me. Making an attempt to construct extra proof to feed to him to get me kicked out of the International Group.”

He rises from his chair and begins pacing forwards and backwards.

“I knew that sneaky bastard was as much as one thing.”

I don’t say something. I’ve heard of the International Group, a world realty firm, I consider. I’ve no consciousness of Dae’s affiliation with the corporate. Extra importantly, Dae advised me he not has any enterprise affiliation with Blackmon.

Did he misinform me?

Lastly, I ask, “What are you referring to?”

“Don’t act such as you don’t know, Kennedy. Your boyfriend tried to have me kicked out of this three way partnership deal, and I refused to again off. So now he’s having his reporter girlfriend do his soiled work?”

He shakes his head and clicks his tongue. “What’s the matter? You didn’t suppose you had been the one one in a position to do analysis, did you? I do know your relationship and the way you bought this place.”

“What the hell did you simply say?” I demand, my voice darkening.

He smirks, and my hand balls right into a fist as a result of the urge to punch the cocky look off his face rises in me.

“Blake Madison is a member of the Black Opal.”

Blake Madison is the Vice President of the information division at Regal. I bumped into the identical VP just a few months in the past on the elevator, which made me query whether or not my father had one thing to do with my getting employed right here.

I shake my head as a result of what Blackmon’s implying can’t be true. Dae couldn’t have had something to do with me getting my job.

Shrugging off the thought, I carry my chin, assembly Blackmon’s stare. “I earned my place right here at The Regal pretty. However the identical can’t be stated in regards to the critiques you’ve obtained at La Vie.”

His eyes slim, and I do know I’ve hit him the place it hurts. I resolve to thrust the knife deeper.

“And as soon as I’ve the entire proof I must show what you’re actually utilizing these charities at your church for and why Erika Dalton killed herself at considered one of your chains, the world will know precisely the kind of individual you’re.”

“You fucking—”

I stand from my chair. “I’m positive you already know the place the exit is. Or do you want safety that can assist you out?” I glare at him.

He rises from his chair, his face crimson with anger. “This isn’t over,” he threatens.

I look him within the eye, saying, “Not by an extended shot.”

He wordlessly exits the room, face beet crimson with anger. I do know he thought he would throw me off my sport by coming right here.

If something, his go to solely proved that he has secrets and techniques he doesn’t wish to be uncovered. I’m on the verge of uncovering them. If what Nicole advised me about his church community and the way he and different enterprise associates use them to primarily power baby labor, I’ve acquired this bastard.

I’ll expose his secrets and techniques.
