The Bennett family's crisis came faster than I expected.
After Apex Capital and several of its partners restructured the supply chain project, the Bennett family's entire plan to rely on Sterling Group's technology to break into a new market fell apart.
Nathan's unilateral decision to call off the wedding had also humiliated the Bennett family in the world of high finance.
Banks tightened their credit lines.
One business partner after another pulled out.
The first time Cecilia showed up outside Apex Capital, the designer outfit she wore was no longer from the latest collection.
The receptionist stopped her at the front desk, but she still tried to maintain her composure.
"I'm here to see Elodie Parker."
The receptionist smiled politely and asked her to make an appointment.
Cecilia
