Chapter 8 - THE CONTRACTJonathan didn't leave.
Instead, he asked Daniel to meet him in the study.
Claire listened from the hallway.
“You built your company with money from my investment fund,” Jonathan said.
Daniel's voice was defensive.
“I repaid every cent.”
“Did you?”
Jonathan placed a folder on the desk.
Daniel opened it.
His expression changed.
“There were clauses.”
“Of course there were.”
Jonathan leaned forward.
“Your company survived because I protected it.”
Daniel stared at him.
“What do you want?”
“I want the truth.”
Daniel closed the folder.
“There is nothing between Vanessa and me.”
Jonathan looked at him for several seconds.
“Then you won't mind if I investigate.”
Daniel's face hardened.
“You can't control my marriage.”
Jonathan smiled coldly.
“No.”
He stood.
“But I can control the money that keeps your empire alive.”
Daniel went silent.

Her father hadn't come to destroy Daniel.
