“How are things with Brinley? Her father happens to have owned the business with John. And now, from what I can tell, he’s missing. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you? Especially after your recent trip to Georgia.”
Shane scratches his jaw and shakes his head. “Listen, I think you have all of this wrong—”
“Do I?” Kane asks, suspicion dripping from his voice as his dark eyes land on me.
Fuck…
There’s no way he knows anything about me. I haven’t done anything.
“So then maybe you’d like to explain to me why you are now a co-owner of Myth with every person who currently sits at this table besides my sister and me.”
Except that.
We did that.
Blue stills beside me, and I glance her way to see violet eyes narrowing on me. It’s the other secret I’ve kept from her. But I have my reasons.
Kane’s voice interrupts Blue’s stare down.
“Damon, would you like to tell me why you decided to buy the club where my sister works? Or is this just another way your group is manipulating the situation to control the women who are part of it?”
His eyes shift to Blue, satisfaction written in the curve of his lips.
“I’m guessing you didn’t know that part, did you?”
She shakes her head, anger flaring behind her eyes.
This meeting is no longer as entertaining as it used to be.
The room is silent except for Taylor’s furious tapping.
“I don’t understand how you got past my firewalls. Nobody has been able to—“
Kane turns to Taylor.
“First, I can’t take credit for getting past anything. I had a friend do it for me. The same friend who’s now working on decrypting the flash drive.”
A sheen of red across his cheeks is the only clue that Tanner is beyond rage at this point. Ever the professional, he maintains his composure.
Gabe’s voice filters through the tension in the room.
“Okay, Kane. You know some things about us. Would you like to tell the class what any of this has to do with why you’re here today?”
Kane swivels in his seat to face Gabriel.
“Besides my sister, none of the women you’ve been manipulating are sitting in this room today. Is there a reason for that?.”
Tanner rolls his eyes.
“They’re at lunch, but we can invite them here for this conversation if it will stop this bullshit interrogation you’re conducting without knowing the first fucking thing about what you’re attempting to insinuate.”
“I’m not attempting anything,” Kane retorts. “I think I’ve done a decent job of making the insinuation crystal clear.”
“Why did you have your friend hack my computer?” Taylor asks, his fingers still furiously dancing over his keyboard. Shock is evident in the tight line of his jaw, his teeth grinding so much that the muscle tics.
Meanwhile, Kane is cool, calm and collected.
“Because when I last spoke with my sister, she informed me that your group has information on my mother. She wouldn’t tell me exactly what that information is over the phone, so I decided to find out for myself.”
