Chapter 107 - 108 Victory
Savannah begged and begged and begged and almost got on her knees.
By the end of a marathon grovelling session, she’d managed to get Eliza Black’s demand cut from two hundred million to fifty.
The project didn’t just fail to make money—it had bled them fifty million.
Savannah was so furious that she ended up in bed with stress-induced fever the same day.
Violet Lin had to cough up thirty million of that money herself to avoid being booted from Nyx Collective and blacklisted by the whole industry.
Her family may have made its fortune quick, but dropping thirty million all at once still wasn’t a walk in the park.
For an entire week, nobody at Nyx got any work done. A few had tendered their resignation.
Violet was too busy licking her wounds to spar with me.

Days before the trial, Hannah and her team finally managed to convince Priya Sharma to testify. She and her family had flown into Skyline City.
I hadn’t seen her since high school. We’d kept in touch a little—texts here and there, money when she needed it—but not a face-to-face meeting.
