He never intended to divorce his ex-wife.

And he had resolved the mistress issue.

But it was exposed by Pearson.

His family broke up.

“What are you aiming for?" Pearson was aware of his actions but didn't want to escalate the situation.

Before Stetson could respond, Pearson proposed, "I'll hand over that project to you."

A peal of laughter erupted from Stetson.

It was as if he'd heard a hilarious joke.

“What? Are you not satisfied?" Pearson asked, his tone icy.

“Certainly not. Do you really think you can appease me with such a minor concession?" Stetson retorted casually, “If you want me to keep my mouth shut, cough up a billion to cover my losses."

“Why don't you go rob?" Pearson's anger flared.

"If you're not interested in negotiating, I'm not one to insist."

Stetson rose to his feet and added, "I've got other matters to attend to, so I won't escort you out. Take care."

With that, he made his exit.

It wasn't that Pearson was unwilling to give the money.

Stetson, however, demanded an exorbitant sum.

Perhaps he could turn to Forrest for assistance.

After all, it was Forrest's mother who had done that to Laura.

Shouldn't the Walters family pay for it?

With a plan in mind, Pearson headed straight to meet Forrest.
