CHAPTER 35
~Zara~
Ivan chuckled, his gaze sliding from me to Snow before settling back on me. "I'm just here to enjoy the event, Zara. But I couldn't resist stopping by to say hello."
"Too bad the same can't be said from here."
Ivan's eyes never left mine as he turned professional. "I heard rumours of a lucrative deal. Thought I'd crash the party."
Marcus's interest was piqued. "A lucrative deal, you say?"
Ivan nodded. "One that will blow Mr. Zephyr's offer to you out of the water."
My heart sank. Ivan was here to sabotage the deal, taking Marcus away. I knew Snow needed and wanted this deal. It made sense that Scalwag would want to disrupt his plans.
Snow's voice remained calm. "I doubt that, nephew."
Ivan smirked. "We'll just have to see about that, uncle."
