Zach lit a cigarette. Ever since Madelyn left him, he had picked up smoking. Now, he could not quit.“The details don’t matter.”
“Did you kill Randall? Frida asked.
Yvonne glanced over. She knew Zach had secrets, and he always intrigued her.

Owning that oil field gave Zach a significant edge. The Young family had diverse businesses; the oilindustry was their latest focus. Their partnership with the Burton family was postponed because ofRandall’s imprisonment. When Zach revealed the deal today, it took Frida by surprise.
Frida grew concerned about Zach potentially rising to prominence in Ventropolis. She could not believeit. While the Burton family was in chaos, trying to track down the businesses Randall owned, Zach hadmanaged to secure the oil field worth over $10 billion–a prize the Burtons had their eyes on. Frida feltconflicted. On one hand, she desired the oil field; on the other, striking a deal with Zach was risky. ButFrida recognized that bold moves could lead to substantial gains in business.
“Ms. Young, think it over,” Zach urged.
Frida’s eyes narrowed, looking suspicious, “Why approach us when you could’ve gotten over $1.5billion from the bank?”
Zach replied, mischief in his eyes, “I have my reasons. Or maybe… you’re too scared to bet with me?”
“Do you realize how risky this is? If things go south, you’ll lose everything.”
“I only gamble when I’m sure I’ll win.”
“Fine,” Frida said. “If you can’t pay back in three years, the oil field becomes the Young family’sproperty.”
“Deal.”
‘To make sure we’re on the same page,” Frida continued, “you’ll need to get engaged to Yvonne. Wedon’t just lend this much money to
anyone.”
