Burn Me Once Burn With Me (Ruby Grayson) novel Chapter 636

With Morgan's reluctant agreement, Gennifer and Hanley hurried to the rooftop café.

He was already waiting, his jaw tight as he idly tapped a coffee cup on the table.

"Mr. Blackwood."

Gennifer strode forward, offered a polite greeting, and only after receiving a nod from Morgan did she and Hanley take their seats.

Morgan slowly lifted his gaze. "Speak. I don't have much time."

"Do you know of the Steele family in The Capital?"

Gennifer wasn't one to beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

Morgan frowned at her words. "What does this have to do with the Steele family?"

Gennifer briefly explained the connection between the Steele family and Ruby, also mentioning that the Steeles had recently come to Quinborough.

"Are you saying... Ruby might become the next head of the Steele family?"

Morgan finally looked serious, his typically inscrutable and somber face now etched with shock and astonishment.

"Yes. And the Steele family is still in Quinborough. When they return to The Capital, they'll likely take Ruby with them."

Gennifer pursed her lips.

Morgan gripped the coffee cup, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the handle as a storm brewed in his eyes.

The Steele family…

His heart pounded.

Of course, he knew what the Steele family represented. They were a top-tier family not just in The Capital, but throughout Veytura.

And Ruby might inherit the Steele family fortune!

This was, without a doubt, fantastic news for him.

"Why are you telling me this? Or rather, what do you want in exchange?"

Morgan narrowed his eyes, his gaze profound.

Dealing with smart people was always so much easier.

Gennifer and Hanley exchanged a look before explaining Domingo's situation to him.

Morgan frowned. "You want me to help you find someone?"

He leaned back in his chair, his mocking, cold eyes sweeping over them. "And what's in it for me? You said Ruby might inherit the Steele family. So what if she does? What does that have to do with me?"

Gennifer shook her head. "It most certainly has something to do with you."

Hanley clenched his fists, collecting his thoughts before laying out the plan he and Gennifer had already discussed.

"You're saying you want to control Ruby to get your hands on the Steele family's assets?"
