Having lived two lives, Annabelle Linton was no fool.
For a man she'd never met to say he was willing to help her just because he liked her—it was an insult to her intelligence.
The moment he gave that reason, Annabelle knew he had ulterior motives.
A glint flashed in Chase Lynch's eyes as he looked at Annabelle with admiration. "Annabelle Linton, you truly are different from other women."
'She was more intelligent and rational than other women, which made her all the more captivating.'
"I did approach you with an agenda," Chase Lynch said, his gaze sincere, "but it has nothing to do with you. And I won't hurt you. I just want to work with you. If you're not willing, we can forget it. But I will help you secure the acquisition of the Linton Group tomorrow. I'm being sincere."
Annabelle looked at him in surprise but quickly returned to her indifferent expression.
'Her main goal was to secure the Linton Group's acquisition, wasn't it?'
