Ring a bell? They’re all under the development fund.” He swiped the screen again. Each asset gleamed like a medal, a testament to his careful scheming. “And I,” he emphasized, pointing at his chest, “am the sole managing partner of that fund.” He set down the tablet and stepped closer, leaning down to ......
