The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 236

Isabella didn't get mad, but instead, she flashed an ingratiating smile and said respectfully, "Clark, my current predicament is temporary. I have plenty of ways to solve my problems and start anew. Have you forgotten? Over the years, every time you've screwed up a business deal, I was the one who bailed you out with my money."

Clark was no whizz at business, but he loved to show off his chops. With arrogance and narcissism, he always thought he was the smartest guy in the room. He looked down on small deals and always wanted to go big or go home.

But he couldn't handle the big leagues. Every single time he tried to do business, he'd lose at least a hundred grand.

Clark was always a mama's boy. His mom was a hard-ass, and although he strutted around like a big man on campus, he turned into a little boy when he got home, always groveling in front of his mom.

If his mom ever asked him where the money went, he'd get scared shitless.

To keep her spot as Clark's fiancee, Isabella kept pulling Clark's ass out of the fire.

And where did she get her cash? Mostly by blackmailing Faye with the fact that Thalassa was still alive.

She made some dough with her own company, but it was peanuts compared to what Clark was burning through.

Hearing her words, Clark calmed down.

For the past five years, he couldn't figure out why he kept losing money in his business deals.

The capital he used to do business was always siphoned off from the family account under the radar.

If his mom found out, she'd blow a gasket.

Every time he lost money, Isabella would step in and save his bacon.

He trusted that Isabella had the chops.

Five years ago, Isabella had fooled around with another guy behind his back!

This was a bitter pill that Clark couldn't swallow. He depended on Isabella's abilities, but he couldn't forget what she had done.
