(Author's POV)
"Jasper's ex-wife," Stefan said. He didn't look away from the window. "She married Phineas Everett. She's been inside the Everett family's inner circle for months."
Richard pulled back slightly. "Phineas Everett's wife."
"Yes."
The room went quiet.
Stefan turned from the window. "The contract losses. The blocked financing. The distributor who pulled out last week." He looked at his father. "It's not a market correction. Someone is applying pressure. Systematically."
Richard's expression shifted. "You think it's connected."
"I think someone in this family did something to make an enemy of Phineas Everett." Stefan looked at Sienna. Then at Sebastian, who had been sitting in the corner pretending to check his phone. "And I think one of you knows exactly what."
