Jason Bateman Net Worth 2023 Novels & Stories

"If you’re going to confront him—or Emma—you need to protect yourself. Especially financially." Her words hit me harder than I’d like to admit, and my hands curled into fists. "You think he’d… betray me like that?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Aria didn’t answer, but the look in her eyes said everything. "No," I said sharply, shaking my head. "I’m not helpless. If Jason thinks he’s the only one who knows how to manage money, he’s wrong." I straightened my posture, my resolve hardening. "I’ll transfer my pre-marking assets first thing tomorrow," I declared. "And from now on, he can cover the difference. From my earnings, I’ll only contribute my bare minimum."

That voice… that voice was familiar. “And this,” the man continued, calm and unhurried, “is the agreed amount for this year's omegas.” “Two billion dollars,” I heard Jason say with a chuckle in his voice. “A fair deal. It’s always a pleasure doing business with you. We look forward to seeing you again next year.” My heart slammed violently against my ribs. No, it couldn’t be. It can't be him. I pushed the door open. Jason looked up from his desk, a paper… probably a cheque… in one hand, and a glass of whiskey in the other hand. A smirk curved on his lips, like he'd been expecting me.
