Chapter 185 Nip It in the Bud

• Sure enough, Talia rose to her feet and walked away. She didn't know what was wrong with Jasper and why he just had to be so concerned over her personal affairs, but his unsolicited attention was overbearing. That being said, she was more afraid of offending him and prompting his feelings of disgust toward her.
• However, she had only just closed her bedroom door behind her when she received Jasper's text, which contained information on the recent activity and progress of Owen's company. At least that provided an insight on why Owen contacted her out of the blue.
• As it turned out, after Owen's youngest daughter had passed, he and his wife had no other children who could inherit the company. The company was a family business to begin with, and the relatives on Owen's side were all shareholders, not to mention parents to capable sons. They were an intimidating bunch, and at present, they had set their eyes on Owen's shares.
