A Vow of Deception, A Vow of Revenge novel Chapter 155

Meanwhile, at Rogers Corporation, inside Elvis's office—

Jeremiah watched as Elvis ended a call, setting his phone aside with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "What did Jude do this time to get on your bad side?"

Everyone knew the Rogers and Quincy families were at odds, but Jude's antics had never seemed worth Elvis's attention.

"He's got a foul mouth," Elvis replied with a casual shrug.

Jeremiah raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. Jude's sharp tongue wasn't exactly breaking news—if Elvis really cared, he would have dealt with him long ago.

"I'm guessing… he ran that mouth of his in front of Miss Thorne, didn't he?"

Elvis said nothing, flipping open a file instead. He didn't deny it. Jeremiah knew he'd hit the mark.

Jeremiah couldn't help but sigh dramatically. "You're really in deep, aren't you? I've known you for years, and I've never seen you like this. Then again, it makes sense—if you didn't care about her, you wouldn't be tying yourself to the Thorne family at all. Seriously, when did it start? When did you realize you liked her?"

Elvis's hand stilled over the papers. When he looked up, his gaze was icy. "Did you come here just to gossip?"

Jeremiah grinned. "Of course not. I actually need a favor." He leaned back in his chair. "You know that piece of land I've been after…"

"I know," Elvis cut in, his tone brisk.

"Always straight to the point." Jeremiah clapped him on the shoulder. "Elvis, you've saved my skin more times than I can count. If you ever need something from me, just say the word."
