Ace
She couldn’t afford to be overconfident.
If she had learned anything from her years in this cutthroat world, it was that confidence could easily turn into arrogance, and arrogance was dangerous. She needed to stay sharp, focused, and above all, cautious.
She drummed her fingers on the desk, her mind racing with thoughts of how Ace might retaliate. He was protective of Lisa, she knew that. The mere thought of her brother and his devoted loyalty to that woman made her scoff.
Evelyn never understood what Ace saw in Lisa. She was weak, easily manipulated. But Ace… he was blinded by love, by the child they were expecting. And that could be Evelyn’s advantage.
