Chapter 117: A Meeting of Power

Chris smirked at his own thought before deleting his message. No. He wouldn't go to her. She would come to him.

He turned to Ethan. "Send my jet. Bring her here."

Ethan folded his arms, amused. "You sure that's the right move? She's not exactly someone you can summon like the rest of the world."

Chris gave him a knowing look. "I'm not summoning her. I'm reminding her where she belongs."

Ethan let out a low whistle. "And if she refuses?"

Chris's smirk didn't fade. "She won't."

A PRIVATE MESSAGE WAS SENT TO SKYLAR.

CHRIS: A jet is waiting for you. You know where to go.

No explanations. No requests. Just a statement of fact.

Minutes passed. Then—

SKYLAR: I hope you're not expecting me to just run to you.

Chris's reply was immediate.

CHRIS: I don't expect. I know.

And just like that, the game continued. She was coming.
