The owner of the building, the head of Langston Financial Group, and a man with influence that extended across multiple industries.
Logan’s face went pale as the connection settled in his mind.
“Wait, what is going on here,” he stammered.
Gregory picked up the signed papers and flipped through them calmly before looking directly at Logan.
“So you are the man who thought my daughter was nothing,” he said evenly.
Logan attempted to regain control of the situation, straightening his posture.
“With all due respect, this is a private matter between us,” he said.
Gregory studied him for a moment before allowing a faint smile to appear.
“It stopped being private the moment you decided to humiliate her,” he replied.
Brittany tried to speak, her voice uncertain.
“We did not know anything about this situation,” she said quickly.
“Exactly, you did not know,” Gregory said as he glanced at her briefly.
Logan swallowed hard, realizing the shift in power was no longer in his favor.
“If this is about money, we can renegotiate the terms,” he offered.
Gregory let out a quiet laugh that carried no amusement.
“Money,” he repeated.
He pulled out his phone and made a call without hesitation.
“Cancel all meetings with his company immediately and withdraw all financial support,” he instructed calmly.
Logan stood up abruptly, panic breaking through his composure.
“You cannot do that,” he said loudly.
“Can I not,” Gregory replied.
“My company is about to go public,” Logan insisted.
“I am aware of that,” Gregory said. “I also know that most of your investors are connected through my network.”
Silence followed.
The realization hit Logan fully.
Everything he had built was beginning to collapse in real time.
“You would destroy my company over this situation,” he asked in disbelief.
Gregory looked at him steadily.
“No, you did that yourself,” he said.
He placed the papers back on the table.
“I am simply removing support you never deserved in the first place,” he added.
Brittany’s voice trembled as she turned toward Logan.
“What does that mean for us,” she asked.
Logan did not answer because he already understood the consequences.
No investors meant no funding, and no funding meant no public offering.
It was over.
Scarlett exhaled softly, feeling a calm she had not expected.
“Dad,” she said quietly.
Gregory’s expression softened as he looked at her.
“I am sorry, I know you wanted to handle this on your own,” he said.
