“I'm bound by confidentiality, so I can't disclose them. In due time you'll understand."

With a swift motion, Barlow emptied the remaining drops of wine from the glass, his actions punctuating his statement.

Rosalynn's apprehension grew as she contemplated his status as an informant.

“Is there a storm brewing involving Hughes Group?"

She could not help but draw parallels to Sun Group. Would Barlow join forces with law enforcement, pointing fingers at Hughes Group, exposing any potential misdeeds?

“Concerned that my brother might be a criminal?“ Barlow perked up, curiosity glowing in his eyes.

"Rosalynn, what would you do if Brian did step over the Lin

Her heart hitched.

Would Brian dare to break the Law?

No! Despite being a shrewd businessman, Brian held steadfast to his principles.

“That's impossible. If you won't tell me, I'm leaving." Finding his silence too unsettling, Rosalynn rose, ready to make her exit.

“You can't Leave yet," Barlow announced.

Rosalynn halted.

“And why not?"

“If you do, how can we keep up the charade?" Barlow poured himself another glass, the amber liquid swirling in its crystal confines.

Rosalynn bore her gaze into him.

“And who are we performing for?"

“Those who relish a good drama. Let's say...Kennedi. Or those plotting to overthrow my brother and seize control of Hughes Group."

Barlow took a leisurely sip of his wine, his voice dropping an octave.

Someone was gunning for Brian's position.

This revelation yanked Rosalynn's focus.

Barlow, it seemed, had no interest in clashing with Brian.
